Nike Korea prepares for the coming of Spring with the new Pollen Rise iteration of the brand's signature Air Max 95 sneaker model. The sneaker draws inspiration from a tonal aspect from Seoul's forsythia flowers and the sneakers come with interchangeable patchwork that can be placed throughout the silhouette as the uppers are entirely velcro. This adds a touch of customizability for consumers.
The velcro construction allows for the structure to be full of layers and serves as the perfect canvas foundation for the embellishments. The wide range of badges include a large Swoosh redesigned in the theme of a forsythia flower and small and large Swooshes as well as a strong branded touch. The patches boast a color palette of orange, yellow, blue, green, sitting within a black trimming.
