[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqua-colorway) introduces the new Huarache E.D.G.E. TXT sneakers as a re-imagined silhouette inspired by Air Huarache by Tinker Hatfield. The new sneakers are available in two colorway options in total -- either an 'Indigo Force' and black, or a 'Clear Emerald' and 'Tonal Orange.' The two options are captivating with bright hits through overlaying construction throughout the entire uppers.

The Huarache E.D.G.E. TXT boasts a boot-like structure throughout the top using a reconstructed neoprene material. This is accompanied by a series of different fabrics including suede, mesh, and leather incorporated through panels. The original model showcases a rubber strap and the latest iteration removes it to give it a cleaner shape -- rounding out the silhouette are the Phylon midsoles and the rubber outsole complete in dual-tones.
