Originally releasing in 1991, the Nike Air Huarache has been a staple in the brands retro releases. For this year and beyond, they will modernize the shoes and slap a new name on them, known as the Nike Air Huarache Ultra.
It keeps elements of the iconic 1991 Huarache — the logo, bootie construction, heel stabilizer and dotted heel — while reimagining its exoskeleton-like qualities.
“We wanted to reimagine the Huarache in a fresh and modern way for the way our female consumer maneuvers today,” says Nike footwear designer Ashley Comeaux of the Nike Air Huarache Ultra. “You get the shape of the original saddle and added Nike technology with the next generation Flywire lacing system. It’s simple and clean, yet the DNA of Huarache is still there.”
Below is a full look at the upcoming Nike Air Huarache Ultra colorways that are set to launch on December 26th, 2015. Let us know if you plan on picking any up and if so, which one.
