After treating the silhouette like a software update and releasing a refined version of the Air Max 1000 this month, Nike and Zellerfeld are quickly following up with another colorway of the 3D-printed shoe.
The Nike Air Max 1000.2 “Black/Hyper Crimson” is essentially the same shoe that sold out at the start of May but with a bright red Air Max unit popped into the heel. Once again, the rest of the silhouette is printed in black, as the brand marks are either inset or protruding from the pattern.
