In addition to investing in research and innovation to offer us models always more efficient, the American giant NIKE brings out the archives of cult pairs for the greatest pleasure of sneakerheads. The latest one is the Air Kukini.
Originally introduced in 2000, the bold slip-on had not been re-released since 2011. It resurfaces today in 2 colorways : « Leopard » and « Topography ».
The first iteration features a base covered in Leopard print and topped with the iconic translucent TPU cage. The design is completed with black suede toe and heel reinforcements and matching pull tabs. A touch of orange appears at the embroidered Swoosh on the tongue and the heel Air unit. A white midsole and black outsole complete the look.
The Air Kukini « Topography » consists of a light blue upper with a light grey metallic topography print. We find the famous translucent TPU cage and white toe and heel overlays. The midsole, inner lining and pull tabs are also presented in white. To finalize the look, the heel Air unit sports a metallic blue finish and the outsole is dressed in black.
The Nike Air Kukini « Leopard » & « Topography » will be released in the coming weeks at select retailers and nike.com for $135 per pair. Be ready !
