After pushing the Nike Air Max 98 in a big way for its 20th anniversary last year, the model has been standing out within the retro footwear repertoire with its multi-textural designs and throwback stylings. Following the “Wild West” pack and the Charlotte Hornets-inspired silhouette, the Swoosh now gives the pair a polychromatic snakeskin treatment.

The latest iteration boasts a futuristic look with its lab-white base color and the translucent Air unit. Abstract-shaped python skin overlays in Warhol-inspired green, red, yellow and pink are scattered across the uppers, while hits of black on the heel strap and the laces, and a green-outlined Swoosh finalize the design.

The multi-colored snakeskin Air Max 98 is currently only available in women’s sizing. These highly-anticipated sneakers can be purchased in the coming weeks on Nike.com and at select retailers. Stay tuned for more details on the official drop date.
