Recently, Nike Air Huarache added a new colorway to their catalog which is an adoption of a rich burgundy shade. In July, the brand also included another colorway in olive in the same catalog. Both the sneakers are slated to launch in fall 2023.
Inspired by the Water ski boot, this sneaker was created to serve the utmost comfort to the runner. Nike Air Huarache accentuated the technology and its lightweight can drive runners to cover some extra miles. However, this running shoe has conquered the basketball hardcourt with its unique technology and the neoprene upper.
The burgundy color is slated to release in 2023 with a price tag of $140.
Nike Air Huarache is a blend of open-toe sandals and water ski boots
In 1991, the bespoke shoemaker Tinker Hatfield got an inspiration to design Huarache after having a water ski ride. He envisioned a sneaker that is based on technology and its lightweight will provide a great comfy experience to the runners.
He illustrated the design and added the neoprene sock line technology for the snuggly feeling. Discarding the swoosh logo, the sneaker focused on the technology to execute his envision.
However, in the beginning, the Beaverton-based brand seemed a little skeptical about the swoosh-hiding shoe but after having a trial on thousands of runners, the shoe got a green flag.
At the time of inception in 1991, the shoe weighed 9.5 ounces, and Tinker Hatfield blended the Lycra and neoprene fabric together for the snuggish experience. Aligning the comfortable experience of the shoe, the tagline of the commercial was created as:
"Have you hugged your foot today?"
After the success of the first pair, several athletes and celebrities started promoting the shoe on TV and Jerry Shienfield was one of them. Also, Kobe Bryant got a separate shoe line with Huarache.
In North America, the open-toed sandal known as the "Huarache" is the source of the naming behind this line of shoes.
