The Nike Air Max Rise, looking like it’s part of the same family tree as the Hyperize or maybe some distant younger cousin of the 2K4 Huarache, has been going under the radar within the hype of sneaker culture. But let it be known, this is quickly becoming a hit with an appreciation for basketball footwear. A number of athletes have been seen sporting these on NBA courts, like OJ Mayo and Brandon Roy. Don’t be surprised if you start seeing some other ballers with their own PE colorways. Or if you just like to go simple but aggresive, hit up id4shoes on eBay for the Air Max Rise in black/dark grey colorway with synthetic and patent leather.
