After coming out with a selection of new Air VaporMax CS sneakers in more neutral colorways, Nike is back with a fresh iteration that combines hues of black and white with bright pink accents, which is where its name, 'Hot Punch,' comes from.
The uppers of the sneakers are comprised of durable leather and a lightweight mesh-like material, which also helps the sneakers to be more breathable. The majority of the sneakers are overtaken by a stark hue of white, which is countered by a deep charcoal that's included on the backs of the heels, on the sides of the uppers, and on the tongues. The Hot Punch pink accents mark the brand's Swoosh logo, as well as parts of the transparent soles.
