Nike Air Max 720 OBJ Appears in "Slip" Style
Trading laces for technical straps and buckles.
Nike has altered the lacing system on Odell Beckham Jr‘s Air Max 720 OBJ to create the new Air Max 720 OBJ Slip. Swapping out standard laces for a technical strap-and-snap system, the shoe is set to debut in two colorways that seem to draw from Beckham Jr’s Cleveland Browns: “Team Orange/Black” and “Black/Total Orange.”
“Team Orange” dresses its suede, nylon and mesh upper in orange tones ranging from autumnal to vivid while using black for accents on the tongue/throat, strap closures and bulbous Air Max 720 midsole. Meanwhile, “Black” offers a mostly inversed look, presenting a full jet black construction with nothing more than a single strip of blaze orange running down the throat. Each also equips OBJ-specific branding on the insole and tongue.
Of special interest is the aforementioned lacing system. Two crisscrossing fabric straps intersect on a plastic harness placed above the throat — itself held in place by a vertically aligned fabric anchor. Each of these can be tightened or loosened by a simple push or pull, and both are secured on either the lateral or medial side of the foot with a snap-in plastic closure system.
Both makeups of the Nike Air Max 720 OBJ Slip will release at retailers like Sneakersnstuff on February 21, priced at $180 USD.
Elsewhere, Supreme recently premiered its latest collaborative take on the Air Force 1 Low.
