Nike Air Max 720

When it comes to futuristic footwear, the Nike Air Max 720 takes the crown. First unveiled all the way back in the summer of 2018, while it's certainly not as storied as other retro Nike Air Max silhouettes such as the Air Max 1 and the Air Max 90, it's still pretty iconic. Over the past few years, we've seen hundreds of colourways release including the "Northern Lights", the "Metallic Silver", the "Summit White", and the "Triple Black", and each one is as legendary as the next.

Featuring a ballistic mesh construction for the perfect balance of support and versatility, the uppers boast a scuplited aesthetic that looks like it deserves a spot in a contemporary art museum. Swoosh branding graces the lateral and medial side panels, and of course, you can't talk about the AM720 without mentioning its immense Air unit.

Inspired by the Air Max 270, the Beaverton brand has quite literally taken their signature midsole technology to new heights for this release. Regarded as their tallest Air unit yet, not only does the Air Bag offer up an insane amount of comfort and cushioning with every step, it's also one of the company's most environmentally friendly as well, as it's made from over 70% recycled manufactured waste.

While the Air Max 720 hasn't been around for that long, it's already accumulated some pretty high heat collaborations along the way including but not limited to Odell Beckham Jr, maharishi, UNDERCOVER, and Heron Preston, who famously fused it with the classic Air Max 95 in 2019. With that said the Nike model has also been split out into various subdivisions as well that are worth discussing.

Made for urban explorers, the Air Max 720 Horizon takes the silhouette to the great outdoors. With a Gore-Tex infused upper for added waterproofing against the elements, this silhouette also features a reworked lacing system that wraps around a gradient cage. Something else interesting is the brand new rubber outsole that does away with the AM720's concentric rings and replaces it with a beefed up look for durable traction with every step. 

While pairs like the Air VaporMax have received an ISPA makeover before, the Air Max 720 ISPA hits different. Part of the Swoosh's "Improvise, Scavenge, Protect, Adapt" line, this iteration was made for techwear enthusiasts and debuted in "Summit White" and "Triple Black" palettes back in 2019. With a crazy design that's infused with a slew of plugs, it was famously approved by Kanye West who was spotted rocking a pair while shopping for sneakers. We wouldn't say no to the world's tallest Air unit either if we were Ye.

While the Air Max 720 Saturn isn't for the faint of heart, it's one of the most sought after iterations out there, more specifically, the "Nike League" pair that debuted as part of 2019's NCAA March Madness Tournament. With a high top construction, the pair is renowned for its midfoot zip and insane graphics that are emblazoned throughout the upper. With that said, the legendary Air unit has been maintained. Another design cue that's worth mentioning is the completely reworked lacing system and pull tab that can be be found around the back. This outdoor ready pair is perfect for the weather that you'd get in the United Kingdom and beyond.

Combining futuristic silhouettes with retro design, the Air More Uptempo 720 takes both eras and fuses it into one shoe. Unveiled at the start of 2019, it took the Air Max 720's Air unit and the Air More Uptempo's upper to create a sneaker unlike any other. Only three colourways of this high heat hybrid exist, including the "Metallic Silver", the "Triple Black", and the "University Red" that oozes with Supreme vibes.

And last but not least, we have the Jordan Proto Max 720 that takes Michael Jordan DNA and places it atop the AM720's Air unit. This is a fan favourite amongst lifestyle lovers and basketball fans, and should definitely be a part of your daily rotation.
