Nike's newest Quickstrike pack goes beyond your typical leopard sneakers to create a whole zoo of animal-themed shoes.
The Quickstrike pack will have a limited edition run and will only be available from select Nike retailers. Titled 'Zoo,' the collection features one all-over animal print per shoe. There's a pair of gold and black leopard sneakers, a tiger pattern of black stripes on orange and a classic, black-and-white zebra print shoe. To make the menagerie theme even more realistic, the zebra, tiger and leopard sneakers are made of pony hair material, giving them a soft fur texture. The model chosen for the Nike 'Zoo' Quickfire collection is the Air Max 1, which boasts a thick wedge sole, a tapered toe and a thin, feminine silhouette.
