Nike’s Air Kukini is receiving a ‘Pixel’ colorway, boasting multi-color galaxy tones that extend across the uppers. The futuristic silhouette features an off-white TPU cage that wraps around the shoe like a spider web, and the sole completes the look with a neutral cream color. The shoe includes black accents on the tip of the toe box, on the base, and across portions of the heel.
After its 2000 debut, the Kukini was primarily advertised to athletes as a result of the Nike Alpha Project. Now, its sleek advanced design can be worn by anyone for style or comfort purposes. The new ‘Pixel’ Nike Air Kukini launches July 15 via Nike's website and select retailers.
