Fish Scale-Themed Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Nike's Air Max 95 Sneakers Get a New Unique Textural Look

— July 13, 2022 — Lifestyle
Nike introduces a new iteration of the iconic Air Max 95 sneaker model that is designed with details that are inspired by the look of fish scales. It has the typical layered detail throughout the entire upper to create that monochromatic accent that is made up of layers of both black and grey panels.

It is also made from a range of materials throughout the construction including mesh for breathability to premium suede and leather as well. In terms of the Fish Scale theme of the shoe, the heel is marked with a scale-like pattern as there are red details that make up the branding accents such as the Air Unit. The Swoosh and laces are done in 3M materials for a reflective look.
