[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-portal-1) introduces a look at its new Air Max Koko silhouette which is arriving in a sandal form for the warmer summer season. The [denim construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonal-black-denim) gives the shoe a lifestyle touch and usually, the silhouette comes in a slew of calm colorways that are formed by a [stretchy and breathable material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flyknit-venture) throughout the upper.

The shoe is detailed with a visible Nike Air Unit on the base foundation of the shoe, providing a chunky silhouette. The sandals are striking with cut-out accents throughout the entire upper, doused in a captivating blue tone. It is accented with tan brown stitching, replicating the features found on a traditional pair of jeans and its tonal contrast. Rounding out the shoe are Swoosh branded badges and toggle laces.
