We’re all aware that the classic Air Max BW Persian Violet returns next week — if you weren’t aware, well, it does — but there’s also a subtly reworked edition that, if not just as intriguing, is still well worth your attention.
The Nike Air Max BW Persian Violet Snake is a dead ringer for that original in terms of color, sporting the same predominantly black upper; that familiar purple collar and Swoosh; the perfectly contrasting white piping, heel and sole. But instead of the soft, pliable construction that’s the Air Max BW norm, the shoe swaps in snakeskin-embossed leather.
It’s a subtle change — just the one material — but it has a marked impact, imparting a premium, almost designer spin on the timeless runner. No word yet on a release date for the Nike Air Max BW Persian Violet Snake, but it should be any day now. Stay tuned.
