The Air Huarache line has been a pivotal part of Nike Basketball’s success. Its pre-sewn neoprene footsock and open-air window provided the comfortable and lightweight fit that many athletes look for. Before having his own signature shoe with Nike, Kobe Bryant fresh off his deal with adidas, was the face of Huarache and would always be seen sporting the Huarache 2k4.
This shoe takes its upper from the Air Flight Huarache, which was one of the shoes probably best known for being seen on the feet of the Michigan ‘Fab Five’ in the early 90s. The sole is made from Nike’s Flex material and is designed to bend and contort with the foot of the person wearing them.
The seven colorways shown below are said to be slated for a Spring 2012 release but don’t be surprised to see schools like Oregon or Ohio State lace these up during the upcoming basketball season this fall.
The Nike Air Huarache Basketball 2012 is scheduled to land on store shelves in Spring of 2012 and retail for $115.
