Marion Franklin Rudy, aka Frank Rudy, will forever be attached to Nike due to the fact that he is the engineer that created Nike’s Air technology. Nike launched the first shoe with ‘Air’ technology, the Air Tailwind, in 1978. In 1980, the brand was able to patent the technology.
This Nike Air Max Scorpion is another pair that pays tribute to Rudy. Highlighted in a Racer Blue, Safety Orange, and Game Royal color combination. Constructed with Flyknit across the upper in Blue, while the Swooshes are stitched on in Orange. Next, we have the blueprint of the technology on the insoles, EST. 2022 printed on the lateral sole, his name printed on the lace tips, and barometer hangtags.
Below, you can check out more photos of the Nike Air Max Scorpion ‘Frank Rudy’ that will give you a closer look. A release will take place soon at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price is $250. Once we have more information, we will make sure to update you.
