Nike Air Maxim X Parra

The famous Dutch artist from Amsterdam, Parra have been collaborating heavily recently with big name brands in his signature unique styles. The latest to come out of the collaborative works is with non other than sneaker giant Nike, in which Air Maxim was reworked as Parra would see fit. As you can see from the photos, the black upper is the base canvas where Parra splashed his personality over it. The midsole has been given the speckle treatment in blue and red, that is also reflected on the two stitching above it on the suede upper. Two toned laces tie in the shoes together with custom Loner tongue tag in his hand drawn illustration. For more info goto Nikesportswear.com
