Running shoe designer Tinker Hatfield wanted to create something that could be "pulled to the bare necessities." He envisioned a light, practically simple design that would highlight the engineering of the sneaker model rather than the Nike Swoosh logos.

Even the Swoosh label acknowledged that after Air Huarache's 1991 launch, people had mixed views on the shoe. The shoe design, which was aesthetically different from any other Nike sneaker model at that time, was the deciding factor. Although the absence of the legendary Swoosh insignia divides opinion, there is no doubting its performance and comfort.

The silhouette eventually cemented a distinctive standing for itself in the footwear scene, and in 2021, it celebrated its 30th anniversary to mark this milestone.

The origins and advancement of the fan-favorite Nike Air Huarache sneaker model on the Swoosh’s official webpage reads,

“The Nike Air Huarache released in 1991. Footwear designer Tinker Hatfield wanted to combine the fit of neoprene waterski boots with the functionality of South American sandals. The instant hit found its way to basketball courts and then the streets, where it earned its status as an icon.”

For latest launch in 2023, the Nike Air Huarache has been redesigned in a stylish "Light Smoke Grey" shade as part of Nike's autumn footwear offerings.

The silvery fabric top of the Nike Air Huarache "Light Smoke Grey" has come to be identified with this distinctive sneaker model. With this new edition, the Swoosh company moved away from the typical high-contrast color flashes as well as dramatic black-and-white components typically featured on the Huarache and embraced a subtle, tonal style.

True to the name of the shoe, soft leather reinforcements in Light Smoke Grey swirl around the midfoot as well as toe region. From the vamp to the heel, a smokey beige neoprene layer transitions elegantly in color, offering a subtle contrast to the rest of the greys.

Deeper grey accents on the back caging, which pay homage to the Huarache's characteristic exoskeleton structure, complete the tonal arrangement. The design is finished with an understated off-white hue that harmonizes with the stormy grey outer on the sole unit.
