The US sports giant has teamed up with Air Afrique, a Paris-based creative collective, to create a new Air Max, the RK61 named after the former airline’s code. The leather moccasin has a sleek and chic design that bridges “heritage, craft and innovation”. It features several references to air travel, from the zipper pull to the air unit, which is said to be inspired by a jet engine, and the collective’s name is spelled in morse code on the outsole.
