[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-vomero-5-6) introduces a new iteration of its iconic Air Zoom Flight 95 sneaker model for the season with a [teal colorway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peach-and-teal) to join the roster. The sneaker has a crisp white base foundation with details of black and blue throughout the paneling construction for a touch of contrast.

The Swoosh emblem on the side of the sneaker is adorned in a teal hue to brighten up the look. In terms of the construction of the shoe, it has a blend of leather, mesh, and nubuck throughout the entire silhouette. It is also detailed with overlaying accents that are made with inspiration from signature carbon fiber and sit on top of the [midsole bug eyes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-95-big-bubble) for a bulbous look.
