The skateboard industry is saturated with so many talented, stylish, and creative rippers that it can be hard to stand out from that pack. Ishod Wair never had that problem. Throughout his New Jersey youth, Philly come-up, global travels, and life in LA as one of the industry’s most respected pros, Ishod has established himself as one of skating’s GOATs, and he’s nowhere near done.
The latest colorway of Wair’s Nike SB Air Max Ishod signature shoe, aka the Wair Max, is a masterpiece in shifting shades, combining five tones of purple across the vented suede upper. Starting with a rich Grand Purple on the toe and bottom section of the side panels, the toebox and lace panel add a dusty shade of Noble Purple to the bulk of the shoe.
The darkest shade of purple is added to the venting in the middle of the side panels, with light, nearly white violet purple added to the laces for some quick contrast. A slightly darker shade of violet is added to the ankle collar and sockliner, and finally, an eggplant shade wraps around the midsole. A bit of black is added on the outsole and mini Swoosh branding, with a hit of light blue beneath the drop-in Air unit to round it all out.
