We had our first look at Nike‘s Air Max Axis back in March, and while we’re still waiting on official release notes, the Swoosh’s newest Air Max model has surfaced in a familiar “University Red/Pure Platinum” colorway.

The contemporary runner fuses Air Max 98 codes with modern technology. This version sees a seamless mesh upper in “University Red” with a metallic silver synthetic overlay and Air Max sole unit. The two-tone look is accented by black detailing at the “AIR” lettering on the lace eyelets, as well at the Swoosh branding throughout.

Stay tuned for more details regarding the Nike Air Max Axis and let us know if you’re a fan of this colorway in the comments. For more metallic-gilded sneakers, check out Cristiano Ronaldo’s Nike React FC CR7 “Black/Metallic Gold.”
