Nike introduces a new textural detail that accents its Terminator High sneaker model for the season adorned with a snakeskin design. This is reminiscent of the Cocoa Sneaker colorway that arrived back in 2018 adorning the Air Force 1 silhouette and this time around, it is seen decorating the retro high-top silhouette.
The shoe made its original debut back in 1985 and continues to retain most of its design elements. It starts off with a white leather base foundation throughout the upper as snakeskin is then applied to the overlaying details at the main design focus. Black accents follow through to add some contrast to the leather Swooshes, the heel branding, laces, the tongue, and the rubber outsole.
