Nike's Mamba Fury sneaker model gets a new Racer Blue colorway option that is dominated by the accenting details. The base foundation boasts mesh materials in black to offer breathability and practicality. The top of the shoe spotlights a glossy tongue tag in blue colors that is accompanied by rounded black laces that wrap around the mesh tongue.
The throatline features blue ripstop eyelets that add a tonal contrast against the black base foundation. The lateral side of the shoe displays the iconic Swoosh in the same blue color that spills down to the midsole. The medial side of the shoe is detailed with a dark red logo at the back quarter to match the color found at the heel panel.
