NIke Skyve Max EMB

IT'S IN THE AIR.

The Nike Skyve Max mixes hoops culture, runway fashion and urban utility. A thick padded tongue and sock-like fabric around the collar reference classic basketball shoe design. The upper draws inspiration from traditional Japanese workwear such as Tabi split-toe shoes and Sashiko, a form of stitching used for both decoration and reinforcement. Its modern heel clip wraps the sides, accenting the visible Air cushioning and adding a new finish to the tried-and-true hero.

Benefits

• Visible Nike Air cushioning in the heel, originally designed for performance running, adds unbelievably soft cushioning.
• The intricate topdown design is inspired by the Tabi footwear of Japanese workers that allowed them to be more agile and have direct contact with their environment.
• Herringbone sole adds b-ball heritage, traction and durability.
• The stitched patterns on the upper are inspired by the Sashiko form of decorative reinforcement and add texture to the soft synthetic leather overlays.
• Cityscape colors and a mixture of materials on the upper are inspired by Kintsugi pottery, the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold and silver lacquer.
• The thick padded tongue, super soft liner and sock-like fabric around the collar add unbelievable comfort.
