Nike is adding some flare to the Air VaporMax 2 with the upcoming "Safari Animal" pack. While the pack is rumored to include five total pairs, here is a look at the first three—"Crocodile," "Tiger," and "Leopard."

Each pair features a specific animal print wrapping the heel with a corresponding color palette used across the rest of the upper. The "Crocodile" colorway sports an olive green Flyknit upper with a black crocodile print. The "Tiger" pair utilizes an orange and black upper with tiger stripes bringing attention to the heel. The final pair is dressed in a golden yellow Flyknit with leopard print paneling acting as the main detail. Safari print insoles with infrared branding are a common feature across the trio of runners.

An exact release date for the Nike Air VaporMax 2 "Safari Animal" pack has yet to be revealed, but expect to see pairs popping up at select stockists in the coming months.
