The upcoming sneakers' new rendition is circulating online and Nike recently announced the release date of April 6. The classic Vapor Street Flyknit's uppers are constructed from the label's classic Flyknit tooling in a [tonal blended medley](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coconut-milk-2) of 'River Rock,' 'Light Cream,' and 'Sail.'

The shoe's overall cream tones complement the oversized Nike swoosh logo, which almost completely covers the lateral side of the silhouette. The branding detail covers the footwear up to the collar, with a additional smaller detail accenting the medial side. The sole unit boasts a chunky look with speckled details. The Vapor Street Flyknits River Beige sneakers are priced at $140 and will be available at Nike locations and online starting April 6.
