Bridging heritage aviation and sneaker craft, the Nike Air Max RK61 x Air Afrique “Coconut Milk” fuses moccasin elegance with performance tech. Its unique silhouette whispers of flight, diplomacy, and design—this is more than footwear, it’s cultural travel stitched into every panel.

Design & Materials

The Air Afrique x Nike Air Max RK61 'Coconut Milk' blends soft beige leather with tonal overlays and a shroud-style zip upper, nodding to classic dress shoes. Signature Air Afrique motifs—Morse code along the outsole, jacquard interior inspired by airline seating, and green visible Air bubble—embed narrative in the construction. The exaggerated dress-sole aesthetic sits on a hybrid Air Max platform, merging formal cues and technical underpinnings.

Comfort & Performance

Despite its dress-shoe look, the RK61 maintains performance sensibility: the sole integrates Air cushioning in a stylized podium heel, the upper embraces both structure and flexibility, and the outsole design offers everyday grip. The zip-over tongue keeps the look clean while ensuring a secure fit for wear.
