Now a low-top version of the kicks is here in a predominately black look. An alternative take on 1992′s collab between Tinker Hatfield and Eric Avar, this low-cut look comes decked out in black and pairs a premium leather upper with a matching neoprene bootie as pale gold accents hit the tongue branding badge and TPU heel support wrap. Capped off with a black air-cushioned sole unit, the cleanest Air Flight Huarache Low yet is available now via nike.com for $110. –HB
Nike’s Air Flight Huarache is set to return this spring in an all new colorway. The high top model sports a sparkling white upper, layered over a grey mesh panel, and an overarching, black nylon piece. Matching white shoe laces, a grey Nike back heel strap, and a translucent, icy blue bottom sole completes this clean addition to the Nike’s Air Flight Huarache line. Full sizes have been stocked over at Titolo.
The “Black/Lyon Blue” colorway sees the silhouette canvassed in all black, with the sole pop of color in the blue inner sock. Made of synthetic nubuck and tonal mesh inserts, the shoe is simple and discreet with an edge. This version of the Huaraches are now available through e-mail order at both the Brooklyn and Manhattan locations of KITH. For more information, check out their website here.
The Air Flight Huarache is set to make its return this fall in proper OG form. The shoe combines the functionality of South American sandals and the fit of neoprene water ski boots and is a testament to the Swoosh’s “less is more” philosophy thanks to its weight-reducing design. Coupling blue and purple neoprene with a white leather exoskeleton and black accents, the original Air Flight Huarache is set to hit NSW retailers and Nike.com come August 8th.
For Summer 2014, Nike is introducing a brand new new silhouette called the Air Flight Squad. Drawing design cues from the Nike Air Flight ’89 and other Air Flight models from ’80s and ’90s, the Air Flight Squad is a mix of old and new with an Air Jordan 4 sole unit, the heel and ankle design of the Air Flight ’89, and clean perforated leather panels. The two colorways include the “White Safari” and “Black Safari.” Look for both colorways now at select stockists.[more…]
