Nike‘s sixth annual Air Max Day is approaching and as such, one of its main releases, the Air Max 720, is rumored to debut in March and in an “Aurora Borealis” inspired colorway.

Originally previewed earlier this year, the brand new AM720 unit’s namesake was inspired by its near-360-degree expose Air coverage. It also features a head-turning upper created with a futuristic perspective. Iridescent accents as well as black and purple hues round out the Northern Lights iteration.

Although we have a release window, no date or price have been set for the Nike Air Max 720. Stay tuned for more details.
