The latest version of Nike's Air Huarache running shoe takes the form of a suede green and beige piece of footwear. This particular shoe has been around for quite some time, but not in this exact version.
This Air Huarache was created in time for the holiday season and showcases aspects of a calming forest scene. The show is made with a thick beige sole that wraps around a large portion of the heel on the upper section. This color is meant to be reflective of bamboo in the rain forest. The upper colorway is a light green hue that aims to represent moss and soothing nature vibes.
This shoe is conveniently titled 'Treeline' and is currently available for consumer purchase.
