Criss-Crossed Sneakers

The Nike Air Woven Euro 2012 Collection Celebrates National Football Teams

— April 27, 2012 — Fashion
The Nike Air Woven Euro 2012 collection is not filled with typical sneaker pickings, despite the shoes' familiar silhouettes. Forgoing the traditional single-paneled construction, these sneakers feature handwoven uppers that add texture to their overall unconventional appearance. Originally launched back in 2000 to mixed reviews, the Nike Air Woven has since won the hearts of people and athletes around the world.

The bright colorways used in the Nike Air Woven Euro 2012 collection specifically celebrate some of the best national teams competing in this summer's football tournament. The perfect shoe for such a sport, the midsole is made out of molded phylon for an added comfortable fit and feel. The collection will be made available globally in select retail stores.
