With the NCAA‘s March Madness in full blast, Nike has come out with a tribute to the sporting event with a manga-themed colorway for its new Air Max 720 Saturn model.
Vibrant "Team Orange" comes in the form of zipper guards and stripes flowing vertically to the ankle, moving down into the elongated 720 Air sole unit. Most of the upper is then covered with dramatic manga-themed graphics, featuring all things basketball. The rest of the paneling is done in a simple black, providing a stark contrast to the bright orange while complimenting the black and white anime graphics. The sneaker is finished with a Nike Basketball logo on the tongue and the insole, consistent with the hoops-themed graphic-abundant aesthetic.
The manga-themed Nike Air Max 720 Saturn will be available on nike.com in the coming weeks, and will etail at $200 USD.
In other sneaker news, FTP and DC Shoes has just dropped a limited edition Lynx OG as part of their third collaborative project.
