OFF-WHITE x Nike Air Max 97 Serena Williams “Queen”
With OFF-WHITE Nikes coming in more and more frequently in recent months, this one was quite limited for a change. Virgil Abloh designed the “Queen” collection exclusively for Serena Williams and the shoe launched via suprise drop on Nike SNKRS. Naturally, prices for the coveted Air Max 97 are skyrocketing right now, so let’s see if there will also be a wider release soon.

Even before the official drop of the Mizuno Sky Medal OG, Patta had the chance to rework the model. And as usual, the Amsterdam sneaker boutique delivered. Inspired by the original Runbird logo, they paid homage to Mizuno’s rich history with an outstanding runner.
