Nike introduces a familiar silhouette by unveiling the Air Terra Humara once again after three decades since its initial launch. The trail running shoe has a bulky structure crafted from a blend of materials along the upper. The shoes are layered with both real and synthetic leather materials, and woven textiles, and complete with reflective silver accents as a bold statement detail.
The shoes are set to launch on Nike SNKRS on October 3rd and the colorway palette has sandy tones along each panel. To continue with the beige palette, yellow accents arrive in the form of the logo along the shoe for a slight pop of contrast -- more branding is seen on the insole unit.
