Nike introduced its signature React Sertu sneaker model earlier this year during the summertime and it recently unveils a new iteration of the design. the latest update boasts a plethora of unique textures throughout the model's uppers including pony hair patches to deliver some fuzzy textiles to the athletic model.
The tonal palette features a mint green and forest green for a refreshing touch. The colorway blends the signature 'Gunsmoke-Bicoastal' and 'Faded Spruce' -- this gives a finish that embodies an earthy design element. The colors can be found on the side panels, the collar, and the toe cap. Additionally, there are contrasting designs on top of the green panels in the form of sandy weaved designs on the midsoles.
