Nike unveils a new tonal iteration of the Air Max Scorpion sneaker model in a pink colorway palette. It joins the roster and hopefully will arrive in time for the Barbie movie as well, as the hue has garnered a lot of attention recently. The shoe has a textural look throughout the upper complete with a knitted material to add some breathability.
It has a textural contrast along the tongue and the ankle collar complete with a similar feel along the laces over the forefoot as well. The heel tab is done in a hot pink to contrast against the blush pink base foundation. It rests on the bubble midsole and has a star embroidered by the Swoosh logo on the lateral side of the shoe.
