UK’s rapper Skepta and Nike are set to release a sequel to their Nike Air Max 97 collaboration from 2017 beginning this Spring 2018. This time they will be working on the all-new Nike Air Max 97/BW hybrid model.
Dressed in a Summit White and Hyper Cobalt color scheme. Being a hybrid shoe, you’ll see elements from both the Nike Air Max 97 and Nike Air Max BW throughout.
Inspired by his relationship to Paris (which was one of the first places he broke outside the UK) by bridging a gap between Paris and London. Linked by train, the two cities stand among Europe’s style capitals (not to mention being actual capitals) and the Nike Air Max 97/BW SK ties them together through the tricolore reference but more discretely honors the Nike Air Max BW’s cultural cache in both places.
