The 360-Max cushioned Air Max Ultra won't be the only new Hyperfuse-constructed Nike runner dropping this year. Seen her here are images of the upcoming Air Max Alpha, which opts for 180-degree Max Air. In addition to the seamless Hyperfuse build, which is noted on the toebox, the shoe features ventilated zones and a solid rubber outsole for optimum performance.
At first glance, you'll notice Air Max branding on the tongue pulled directly from the Air Max 95. Driving that comparison home on this pair is the colorway on this particular pair, which falls in line with the always-popular "Neon" 95. Black and grey synthetic materials handle the shoe's upper, while volt accents the look on the tongue branding, Swoosh border and Max Air unit. White pops up on the inner liner, laces and midsole. All involved colors finish off the outsole below.
Look for the Nike Air Max Alpha to drop in several colorways this fall.
