NikeLab has released two pairs of suede shoes that were designed to be wearable for both men and women.
Unlike the brand's recently released tennis-inspired shoes that are solely intended for women, these shoes come in sizes for both genders. The suede shoes are sophisticated and sleek, offering a divergence from the multi-colored sports sneakers that the brand usually offers. The shoes have perforated suede uppers that add to their unique style while also ensuring comfort and a breathable design. They come in two different colors including a more neutral cream and a vivid teal.
These shoes can be dressed both up and down for people looking for styles that are both classic and quirky.
