In time for the summer, Nike launched a new colorway of its Huarache Run 91s, which are known for their retro chunky build, synthetic accents along the uppers and tongues, and statement branding.
The sneakers noticeably feature lime green and magenta accents along the uppers and tongues, as well as on the inner linings. The base of the sneakers contrast these accents with a stark white. Also marking some of the synthetic components on the sneakers is a deep onyx hue, which is also carried to the logo on the tongues, as well as to the outsoles to create a cleaner finish.
The sneakers are expected to become available online and in-stores on June 6th, and will retail for $130 USD.
