After a well-received Air Max 97 collaboration in 2017, UK rapper Skepta's rumored Nike projects continue to pile up.

In addition to a rumored hybrid Air Max 97/BW, leaker account @py_rates says the rapper's upcoming releases will include the Air Max Deluxe, an underrated Air Max sneaker from 1999 that's expected to return in other styles, too. 

Skepta's version will reportedly take on a "Black/Deep Red/Black" colorway, which could resemble the mockup pictured below. The Skepta x Nike Air Max Deluxe is expected to release in July.

While nothing has been officially confirmed by Nike, Skepta teased a second installment for the collaboration on Twitter last month.

UPDATE (06/18): Following news that the Air Max Deluxe would be making a long awaited return to retailers later this year, new images have surfaced of a colorway that could potentially be the next collaboration from Skepta. The black and red color scheme used on the ‘90s runner resembles a mock-up previewed by leaker account @py_rates earlier this year. While the rumors that this is a collab from the popular Grime artist have yet to be confirmed, this black and red rendition is still due out some time before the end of 2018 for $180.
