Skeletal Tan Sneakers

These Nike Sneakers Have an Uncommon Bare-Bones Design

The tan sneakers designed as part of NikeLab's 'Air Zoom Chalapuka Colorways' collection come with a skeletal frame that is rarely seen on sneakers.

Each pair in this collection comes in different colors including black, navy and white -- and each one has tan-colored accents that either stand out or were placed in more subtle locations. The most unique aspect of these sneakers is their bare-bones design, as it has a skeleton-like structure that actually reveals holes in these shoes. While not a common design for athletic shoes, the tan sneakers are certainly interesting to look at.

These shoes are perfect for people who tend to opt for wearing sneakers in the summer but would like to wear ones that have the ability to keep them cool.
