The Nike Free Orbit II SP is a futuristic shoe that rivals even the aptly named Moon Boot. Its cool grey surface, which is an additional colorway to the highly anticipated original black design, it brings to mind lunar surfaces and other sci-fi images. Not to mention the texture brought into the mix thanks to the soft spikes that protrude over the entirety of its body.
Boasting a Free 5.0 sole and a low-cut slip-on upper, the Nike Free Orbit II SP sneaker finishes the three dimensional geometric patterned surface with a medial zipper. It recently hit stores this past weekend to the delight of Australian fans. Comfortable and stylish, it is hard not to imagine people wanting to hop on an expensive flight to get their hands on the $200USD sneakers.
