Once again channeling his passion for music, the influential Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou has revealed an upcoming collaboration with Nike and the Air Max 95, a silhouette that has once again won the hearts of the global sneaker community through collabs and coveted OG re-issues.
Although a few sharp teasers are revealed, there’s enough to suggest a guitar-inspired theme with the design concept. The most obvious call-out is the PHANTACI branded guitar pick charm, connected by a short silver chain to the shoe-laces. Matching the pearloid finish on the strumming tool is a Jay Chou logo accessory on the tongue, which also features a dark brown tortoise-shell finish to mimic the original emblem of the Air Max 95. Grey leather uppers are also revealed, while the uppermost ridge of the gradient design features a unique mesh-like surface overlay.
Like the “Grand Piano” concept that was executed on their Air Max 1, this Jay Chou x PHANTACI x Air Max 95 keeps to musical themes as a nod to Chou’s outstanding career and reputation as the “King of MandoPop”.
Currently, release date information is not known, so stay tuned for more teasers.
