Neon-Caged Low Sneakers

Nike's Air Kukini Sneaker Gets a Black Neon Colorway Design

— August 31, 2022 — Lifestyle
Nike introduced a new iteration of the signature Air Kukini sneaker model with the new Black Neon colorway to join its roster. The shoe retains its shape and the low-top shoe also has a slip-on design that allows for easy accessibility. It starts off with a sleek black upper made from a blend of neoprene and nubuck materials.

It is then supported by a clear TPU caging in a bright neon hue. The base of the shoe is entirely done in black to allow for a stark tonal contrast as the midsole also boasts speckled details of Neon Green. Rounding out the entire look is a durable black rubber outsole that wraps around the sneaker's profile.
