Nike Air Max RK61 Air Afrique Black – HQ6416-001

The upper features three separate leather components—a mudguard, a robust heel tab, and a shrouded midfoot that wraps over conventional laces. Air Afrique’s jacquard pattern appears inside, while zipper pulls resemble the original airline logo.

Below, Nike has designed an entirely new Air Max sole unit in the shape of a dress shoe, with welting and brushed texture. Bright green Air units in the heel mimic jet engines in reference to the airline’s past, while Morse code for “Air Afrique” provides an additional layer of storytelling across the outsole.
