With Air Max 270, Currently in its 30th year on the market, the Nike Air Huarache continues to remind sneaker enthusiasts everywhere of Tinker Hatfield’s genius. In addition to returning in original colorways, the sandal-inspired design has also emerged in retro, 1990s-appropriate styles. Case in point: A predominantly-“White” pair featuring “Concord”-reminiscent neoprene material.
This latest Nike Air Huarache comes crafted from a neoprene and leather upper, predominantly white with purple and blue accents. That typical caged-like detailing is present as ever on the back of the shoe in black and a translucent shade, while Nike Huarache branding sits on the tongue area for good measure. Beneath the foot, under the crisp white midsole we have that OG Nike Waffle reminiscent outsole, via the pattered tread.Underfoot, outsoles nod to the original Nike Waffle propositions with both their tread pattern and black composition.
This Nike Air VaporMax Plus Knicks features a Black-to-Blue-to-Black gradient neoprene upper with Black plastic lace cage overlays, laces, tongues, heels, and midsole.Cool tones lead the charge, spread across the upper in gradating levels of intensity. Along the forefoot, the shade is far less saturated, easily overtaken by the black that sits at the both ends of the spectrum. The neutral, also, appears along the lace unit, counter, midsole, and the TPU cage, drowning out the louder orange accents that brand both along the rear and tongue label.
