Nike continues its releases of its futuristic Air Max 720 silhouette, but the brand takes it back to the basics with this colorway, opting for simple primary colors.

The sneaker is based around a sleek black mesh upper while its wave-like designs at the side and heel are outlined in a vibrant “Hyper Royal” blue. “University Gold” gets added into the mix via the “Air Max” logo on the tongue and the Swoosh by the heel.  The more subtle uppers are then contrasted strongly with a “Challenge Red” Air Max 720 sole unit — Nike’s tallest yet — running down the entirety of the shoe’s length, carrying on it a black Swoosh logo on its lateral, and a stamped “720” on the heel counter.

For those interested, the Nike Air Max 720 “Black/Hyper Royal/Challenge Red/University Gold” are now available over at Nike’s online store, retailing for $180 USD. Head over to cop a pair now.

Elsewhere in sneakers, Nike has dropped a highly-reflective PG 3 “NASA 50th” celebrating the Moon landing’s 50th anniversary.
