Sportswear giant Nike and ACRONYM first debuted a teased look at their collaborative VaporMax Flyknit Moc 2 sneakers earlier this year. The labels recently unveiled a full look at the collaborative project just in time for the upcoming Air Max Day in celebration of Nike's iconic series of sneakers. The VaporMax Flyknit Moc 2 sneakers boast the classic Vapormax bubble soles in a blend of opaque white and translucent colors.
The collaborative Nike and ACRONYM sneakers have the iconic Flyknit material as the upper and avoids closure with its laceless design. The VaporMax Flyknit Moc 2 shoes are shown in a light bone and black colorway with a neon yellow volt accent that is found at the midfoot. The Air Unit is crafted in a full length and finished with a matte exterior. Additionally, both Nike and ACRONYM branding details are found on multiple parts of the sneaker.
