Nike Fuses Air Max 97 Upper With Air Max Plus Sole Unit

October 6, 2017. Leave a Comment

Nike is doing a lot with Air Max, in particular the wavy Air Max 97, a shoe that has found favor as of late with Nike stalwart fans as well as come-and-go fashion types.

This week Nike introduced a hybrid version of the shoe, placing the Air Max 97 upper on an Air Max Plus sole unit, called Air Max Plus 97 aka 97 Tune Up.

The practice of fusing uppers and sole from different silhouettes is hardly new and you can expect to see the Air Max 97 upper fused with additional bottoms, including VaporMax some time in 2018.

Debuting in black upper and white outsole colorway, this shoe is priced at $160 and will hit retail on November 21, 2017 at 10:00 AM EST.

New York-based Undrcrwn, led by Kari Cruz, drew in

New York-based Undrcrwn, led by Kari Cruz, drew inspiration from women and their stories to introduce the 'Give Me Liberty' tee on Instagram.

Cruz, whose Dominican American, native New Yorker roots influence her work, writes:

'The tee reflects a demand to be seen and heard. It symbolizes the need to preserve our freedoms and echoes our hopes for a bolder, more inclusive future. While the colorway is inspired by NY basketball, it's not a team shirt—it's a timeless declaration for change.

(But wear it to the #NYLiberty games, because yes, duality...)'"

Photographer and fashion creative Renell Medrano u

Photographer and fashion creative Renell Medrano unveiled her solo exhibition, titled "Lambón," on October 4th, at WSA New York. The collection beautifully captures a diverse range of subjects with an authentic, artful lens, where style is ever-present yet feels effortless.

With “Lambón”, Medrano challenges the audience to reflect on their roles in the pursuit of creativity and its potential for exploitation and repetition, asking: “Will you be a leader, or a lambón?” In this context, “lambón” is a Dominican term meaning “moocher" or "freeloader.".

In summary, Medrano describes the retrospective as “a celebration for the girls like me, the kids like me, the people like me.”

Lambón is on view at @wsanyc until November 2nd, 2024.
