Nike once again brings a reptilian inspiration to its sneaker line, but this time, the pattern comes in a stark white snakeskin design.

This scaly 'Diamondback' sneaker pattern realistically recreates the look of actual snakeskin in a snowy white color. The white-on-white colorway release will only be limited to women's shoe sizes, and will be available in both the 'Roshe Run' and 'Blazer Mid' shoe silhouettes.

An interesting take on the snake pattern, the clean white colored aesthetic contrasts nicely with the textured reptile exterior of the shoe. The white snakeskin 'Roshe Run' features a lightweight and minimalist design that offers improved comfort and cushioning. The Nike 'Blazer Mid' offers a more urban shoe silhouette with a high-top collar and classic retro feel.
