Nike unveils the launch of the Air Max Box once again, which was first showcased to the public last year. It was designed for the purpose of cardio and boxing exercises which was questionable to some due to the long ankle collar. The design arrives once again this year in a colorway that features a bold palette of orange, gray, and magenta, borrowing components from different footwear models.
There are elements that are drawn from the Jordan Mars 720 and the Air Max 270, referenced at the wavy midsole area and the bubble-like semi-transparent sole unit at the foundation. Additional details include the rope laces in black, the bubble unit in pink, and orange details at the waved midsole.
