[Nike's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-sndr) signature Air Presto Mid Utility sneakers receive a new colorway and design entitled 'Cargo Khaki' -- it is prepared to combat the harsh conditions that come with the winter weather. The latest iteration is complete in a predominantly gray tone throughout the uppers in a [waterproof material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goretex-protection-pack). This feature is accompanied by a midfoot cage and toe cap for added protection.

Some details include reflective touches over the heel pull tab, a zipper enclosure over the side, and bright orange rope lacing systems. To round out the entire silhouette are a black rubber outsole with traction sensibilities and a Phylon light gray midsole. The Air Presto Mid Utility Cargo Khaki sneakers are now available for purchase online at [Bodega](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xt4-og-3).
