Nike introduces a new iteration of the signature Air Max Scorpion sneaker model as it continues to gain traction in the new year. The silhouette evolves, quite literally with inspiration drawn from Gorpcore themes. It features a new addition that can be attached to the shoe.
It is essentially a protective gaiter that goes all the way up the leg complete with branding details in the form of the Swoosh. This boasts a Chrome colorway palette for a stark detail that also tends to be quite neutral as well. The gaiter attaches to the sneaker along the sides and has buttons that go up the silhouette. The shoes rest on top of the classic VaporMax base foundation.
