It's the best part of the warmer months, when socks are optional and bright colors are abound. The [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watercat-sneaker) Aina Chukkah features [smooth colorways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/igloo-air-jordans) and a fresh design. The most summery aspect of this shoe is the [weaved upper portion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acg-watercut) that makes it appear less like a running shoe and more like a rattan chair where one would comfortably sip on a mint julep.
