Nike introduces a new Toadstool colorway update of the Air Huarache sneaker model. The limited edition palette boasts a retro design element and it blends together the hues Toadstool, Black, and Chestnut Brown across the uppers. The LE model dates all the way back to 1992 and is most notably recognized for its buttery brown leather material that makes up most of the shoe's upper.
Overtime, it develops a patina that ages: this material covers the vamp, the toe, the eyestay sections, and the mid-panel. Black foam mesh is padded around the throat and the tongue, as well as the mid-panel and heel section. The heel is marked with the signature branding detail also in black.
