Looking for the next watch-worthy artist collab of 2016? The Skepta x Nike Air Max BW just might be it. Debuted by the Skepta himself recently on IG, the grime artist revealed this “Blacklisted” take on the Big Window runner.
Dressed in a very #ontrend blacked out nubuck look, this retro runner sees Nike hip to the U.K. hip-hop scene and a market that’s made Air Max matter from the jump. Whether this is a one-off, U.K. exclusive or prime for a worldwide retail run is unknown at the moment (maybe the BW will come to iD?). Whatever it is, it’s interesting for sure. Props to Skepta and peep photos of his BWs in the IG shots below.

49 weeks ago I went to the Nike HQ in Portland, Oregon and sat with senior designer to talk about air max. Today I’m happy to present the Blacklisted Air Max BW, thank you @NJobe for seeing the vision and making my dream come to life. ????
