Nike introduces a new tonal iteration of the iconic Air Presto sneakers as it drops the Origins colorway of the silhouette. This design nods to two decades and references the heritage of the model and the playful names of the many tonal versions that launched throughout the years.
This time around, the shoe gets an all-over print of the fun characters that nod to the plethora of colorways since the original launch of the shoe. The top of the sneaker has a slightly clear patch logo at the tongue and is offset by white laces at the forefoot. The sidewall paneling and the heel features a semi-transparent rubber material as well, focusing the attention at the bright patterning upper.
