As a means to offer more variation in consumer choice, NikeLab readjusted its perforated shoes to include further color options.
Previously, the brand released two contrasting variations -- one of which was a neutral tone while the other was a bright eye-catching teal. Now, NikeLab is set to offer black and muted mint green additions to the 'Match Classics' collection. With sleek one-toned colorways, the sneakers are both appealing to look at and versatile to wear.
The perforated material on the uppers meanwhile makes the offerings more breathable -- allowing consumers to wear the sneakers in varying levels of heat. This also adds more depth to the design, as the perforations work as a type of minimalist pattern on the uppers -- which is further complemented by the variance between this and the brand's use of more solid material throughout.
