[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-tl-25) continues to grow its collaborative work with designer Matthew M. Wiliams and this time, the two highlight the TRD Run 6 sneaker model. The mysterious silhouette is highlighted by the breathable base foundation throughout the upper and stealthy colorway palette.

It is filled with Nike's iconic Air technology throughout the upper and it rests on top of a thick base foundation, which gets chunkier by the end. The aforementioned upper is comprised of a [fully netted construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flyknit-venture) which makes a bold visual statement. The all-black palette gives off a stealthy aesthetic, staying true to the design language of the designer and his previous work. These shoes were recently unveiled online on [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-pewter) with a launch date yet to follow.
