These Nike 'Air Huaraches' celebrate the U.S.A. with a late release of two patriotic-inspired Independence Day colorways.
The popular 'Air Huraches' shoe silhouette has been given a tonal makeover with this release. Available in both a dark blue 'Obsidian' and bright 'University Red,' this running shoe still maintains a classic design that includes a thick rubber heel strap, light neoprene body, chunky rubber sole and retro look.
Oddly enough, this shoe release is only missing a white colored edition that would round off its American flag-inspired theme. This partiotic model is currently sold out online and is only available on Japanese website 'atmos.' Marrying national pride with retro design details, this sneaker range remixes a vintage sneaker style for today's consumer.
