In celebration of Air Max Day today, the iconic Shoe Surgeon joined forces with artist Josh Vides for a special reworked Nike White Python Air Max 1. The collaboration on the highly recognized silhouette boasts a white python all across the upper. In addition to the inclusion of python, Josh Vibes incorporated his hand-painted work to the luxurious upper.
The Shoe Surgeon elevated the design even more by accenting the lining with black Japanese plunge leather. The reworked limited-edition Nike White Python Air Max 1 will be available for purchase via the Shoe Surgeon. Additionally, a collaborative t-shirt will also be available for Air Max Day.
