Sportswear label Nike introduces a new tonal iteration of the Killshot OG SP sneaker model in a beige and black colorway option. The tennis sneaker silhouette stems from the 70s originally and retains the classic construction. It is made from a mesh material throughout the upper for breathable and lightweight sensibilities.
This is backed up by suede detailing that can be found surrounding the eyestay panel, the toe, and the heel -- this is done in a light gray color. The rest of the shoe features black leather materials that make up the Swoosh accent on the lateral and the medial mid-paneling. Rounding out the shoe is the NIKE branding at the heel tab in white.
