Nike first teased its brand new Air Max 720 silhouette back in September, shrouded in mystery over when it would make an official appearance.

Fortunately, the Swoosh brand has just unveiled a closer look at this highly anticipated sneaker.

Designed with futuristic style elements, this reinvented follow up to the Air Max 270 offers an avant-garde look with a bold 720 Max air unit and a swirling mesh upper.

The first colourway to surface is the deep purple adorned "Aurora Borealis";, complete with shimmering iridescent detailing and a matching mini Swoosh.

"Aurora Borealis"; is reportedly just one of many Air Max 720 colourways scheduled to launch next spring, just in time for Nike's Air Max Day in March.
