Breathable All-Black Sneakers

The New Nike Air Huaraches Fuse a Futuristic Look with Functionality

Building on past releases, the new Nike Air Huaraches are attractively modern, supremely comfortable and endlessly versatile.

This is maintained not only by the lightweight, breathable and flexible design that comes from its use of neoprene material and Flywire technology, but also its air-sole heel and well-gripped sole. As Highsnobiety reports, the new Nike Air Huaraches "feels like reuniting with an old friend" -- given the brand's futuristic adaption of a model that was first introduced in the early 1990s.

In order to stay true to the design that sneaker lovers first fell in love with, the new Nike Air Huaraches stay true to much of the original design, while simultaneously adding fresh touches to diversify it and broaden its appeal.
