Nike’s legendary cornucopia of patterns and embellishments knows no boundaries. From all-over logo hits to elephant print, bright patent leather and more, the Swoosh has something for everyone, with each adornment telling a story. However, the iconic “Safari” print stands out from the pack as an unequaled, iconic decoration — and has adorned many a classic silhouette since Tinker Hatfield first schemed it up while visiting a high-end furniture boutique. Now, the classic print is receiving a unique makeover, as an Air Max 95 featuring an enlarged version of the print has surfaced. The shoe features a color combo of grey shades both light and dark with accents provided by amarillo hits scattered on the upper and midsole, but what makes it most interesting is the aforementioned print. Appearing on the side paneling, the enlarged safari embellishments provide a unique scaled aesthetic that almost looks like cells swimming under a microscope. For a finishing touch, the shoes also feature an alternate Air Max logo on the insoles and a trademark hit of reflective detailing on the heel. An official release date has not yet been announced for these unexampled Air Max, but you can expect them to drop on Nike.com later this Fall, and enjoy a set of images below while you wait.
