Progressing from Nike‘s recent launch of the natural phenomena-inspired Air Max 720s, the Swoosh has now releases an automotive racing-themed high-top silhouette.

Standing out on the black leather uppers, exposed yellow stitching outlines the lace stays and collar while a bi-colored zip fastening, embellished with repeated “AIR 720” text, runs diagonally across the lateral side. A “RACING” heel piece arrives below the outstretched strap which is buttoned to the side panels. The model incorporates the tallest Air Max unit within Nike’s footwear repertoire, and is further framed by the number of different-sized Swoosh insignias at the midfoot.

There isn’t much information about the high-top Air Max 720 but make sure to stay with us for more updates.
