Nike Air Huarache - 'Desert Oak'
Originally rumored to be a Nike x Stussy collab, the latest general release Nike Air Huarache arrives in 'Desert Oak.' (Features no Stussy branding on the shoe or box.)
Designed by Stussy UK’s Michael Koppelman and Nike’s Fraser Cooke, the 2000 issue of the Stussy x Nike Air Huarache was released exclusively at the Worldwide fashion brand’s London flagship store. The original sneaker released in the OG Huarache shape along with a simple dash of neutral colouring.
Presented with the identical palette that was used from its original launch 21 years ago, the low-cut kicks lean on a blend of earthy tones to outfit its entirety. Synthetic underlays are lent a 'Light Straw' exterior, and come neighbored by 'Desert Oak' overlays materialized with a smooth nubuck. Charcoal grey notes make an appearance upon the synthetic layer that forms the throat and wraps around the back end.
Further details to call out include that of the red Air Huarache emblem affixed to the tongues, in addition to the silhouette’s signature heel cage which is coated in muted olive along the sides and sees a beige/translucent tint towards the heel.
