Skepta<\/strong> is in full shutdown mode with his upcoming Nike Air Max 97 Sk<\/strong> collaboration. Inspired by a trip to Essaouisa, Morocco, a haven for rockstars during the ’60s given its coastal allure, vivid colors and captivating earthy texture, the London-born grime artist\/activist of Nigerian decent may very well have the best collaborative sneaker of the year by many accounts.<\/p>\n Moroccan shades certainly play a part in the design concept that was also informed by a favorite Swoosh gem of Skepta’s – the Nike Air Tuned Max OG<\/a> originally released in 1999. The shoe also sees the SK Air logo in the shape of the British flag on the insole, which is printed in a theme synonymous with Moroccan culture. Other indigenous odes to Morocco help shape this uniquely placed and crafted collaboration.<\/p>\n Take a detailed look at the Nike Air Max 97<\/a> Sk below and expect the release on September 2 on Nike.com and SNKRS.<\/p>\n
