Oregon and Nike’s Geese Of A Feather program is prepared for his or her subsequent launch; with Air Max Month within the midst, they’ve turned their consideration to a hybrid mannequin of two icons that has its roots from many years prior.
This subsequent launch is a throwback to the sole-swap frenzy kickstarted by Sean Wotherspoon’s Air Max 97/1 of 2018; finally, we noticed cross-hybridization of numerous fashions just like the Air Max 97 matched with the BW by Skepta, the Air Max 90 stitched to a 95 sole by Patta, and a number of other different in-line takes which have since gone dormant.
This particular pairing of the Air Max 97 with the 95 bottoms calls again to the GS-exclusive launch of the 97 mannequin throughout its authentic run; as an alternative of engineering the full-length Air into smaller sizing, Nike selected to connect the Air Max 95 sole as an alternative. It did the identical with the next Air Max 98.
It’s wrapped utterly in an oily iridescent end, exuding the muddy greens and purples seen on the feathers of the pond-dwellers. The Geese Of A Feather signage seems on the heel stripe and tongue, whereas signature Oregon emblems seems on the insoles. The armored steel plating graphic provides a way of energy to the interiors in addition to the uncovered Air casing on the outsole.
This upcoming collaboration between Oregon’s Division St. and Nike is as soon as once more count on to launch on GOAT, with proceeds going on to the Geese Of A Feather initiative. Keep tuned for updates.
