Feisty Speckled Kicks

The Nike NSW Skystepper Blends Intricate Detailing with Iconic Design

Rugged and exquisitely detailed, the Nike NSW Skystepper is the perfect high top for the fashionable urbanite. The Skystepper features a high-top design complete with an oversized strap and the iconic Nike swoosh logo. What really accentuates these dapper sneakers are the speckled soles which augment the entire shoe. All of this is accented with a mesh covering to keep the shoe light and efficient.

The Nike NSW Skystepper comes in black, platinum and blue so that you can match the shoe to whatever you're wearing. Of the three styles, platinum looks to be the most exciting. The speckled shoe subtly blends atomic red along with the white and platinum to give it some spice.

The deliciously urban sneakers will be available on July 17th at certain American retailers.
