Nike is taking a walk on the wild side with its upcoming Air Max 1 ‘87 WMNS “Leopard” model.

The shoe’s cream mesh base is complemented by overlays of light brown canvas and suede leopard print in dark brown and black, providing a fierce look for the women’s exclusive. Adding to the pair’s animalistic instinct is the dark brown panel swoosh mimicking snakeskin leather, while other branding details can be found on the tongue tag, insoles and embroidered Nike Air heel logo. It rests on a cream midsole and cream, light brown and dark brown outsole, while dark brown laces tie the shoe together for a clean finish.

Check out the sneaker above. The Nike Air Max 1 ‘87 WMNS “Leopard” is set to release in the coming months via Nike and select retailers for a retail price of $140 USD.
