Hender Scheme Pays Homage to Nike's Air Max 97 in Latest Footwear Release
Headlining Hender Scheme’s Winter/Spring ‘26 collection, the ‘Manual Industrial Products 34’ pays homage to Nike’s Air Max 97 with the next instalment of its MIP collection.
Manual Industrial Products is a stalwart of Hender Scheme’s offering, focusing on footwear crafted from natural materials using traditional methods. Since its inception, it has seen Nike, Vans, Reebok, Timberland, and Converse silhouettes pass through the hands of its master shoemakers. This latest iteration delivers Nike’s Air Max 97 through its artisanal lens, restructuring the upper by hand from undyed natural leather, applying a wood-and-rubber outsole, and adding a foam midsole for added comfort. The result is a footwear style that honours traditional methods of craftsmanship while adhering to modern aesthetics.
