[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-muse) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cave-stone) across the uppers. The LE model dates all the way back to 1992 and is most notably recognized for its [buttery brown leather material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suede-mocha) 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.
