Over the past few months, hype surrounding the Air Max Scorpion has slowly but surely been rising. World-renowned for its Air VaporMax-esque aesthetics and unique midsole, this silhouette is regarded by many sneakerheads to be one of the comfiest out there. Following the release of a slew of monochromatic hues such as the "Lemon Wash," "Triple Black," and of course, the "Wolf Grey," the Beaverton-based sportswear brand has now revealed a Spring-ready rendition with the Nike Air Max Scorpion "Olive Aura" - and here's everything that you need to know.
As mentioned before, the Air Max Scorpion nods to the legendary Air VaporMax just with beefed up proportions to keep in line with the chunky sneaker trend. Spotted here with a full Flyknit upper, it's painted in a minty olive aura color palette with a contrast white Swoosh shooting through the lateral and medial sidewalls. Dotted "Nike" branding adorns the tongue and heel for a technical vibe, and the mudguard us surrounded by a soft textile for added depth. Underfoot, the full length Max Air midsole is now taller than ever for cushioning and response that has quite literally been taken to new heights. This is then accented with electrifying volt tones for a pop of contrast, finalizing the simple yet striking design.
Releasing in February 2023, the Nike Air Max Scorpion Olive Aura W will be a women's exclusive and will be available via Nike and select retailers worldwide for $250.
