Graphic and footwear designer Rick Maderis recently unveiled Jordan Brand's latest sneaker silhouette, the 'Proto-Max 720' on Linkedin. The recent design is done up in a gold and black colorway -- the shoes are complete in the signature Air Max 270 sole unit and has a high-top structure.
The uppers are constructed from a TPU-like material, which is further accented with the soft golden hue. The gold is contrasted by black details across the collar, the throat, and the thick heel strap. The shoe also sports a series of accents across the silhouette, featuring the Nike coordinates that is seen on the toe box area informed by print. To round out the entire silhouette, the outsole and midsoles showcase the "iridescent, trophy-esque heel clip."
