Blended Sneaker Designs

The NikeLab Free Huarache Carnivore Features Best of Three Shoes

As the name of the NikeLab Free Huarache Carnivore implies, at least for those familiar with such sneaker names, it is a combination of a Free sole and an upper that blends the best qualities of the Huarache and Carnivore. A unique Frankenstein of a shoe to say the least, it's perfect for the summer season -- especially in its new colorway.

Available now in a Emerald and black colorway as a nod to the OG Carnivores, the NikeLab Free Huarache Carnivore is also decked out with leather and mesh. Yet one of the stand out details has to be the OG’s sublimated print decorates both the midsole top line and embossed heel. Together, these details create a unique sneaker that will stop anyone in their tracks to compliment on the spot.
