Nike Air Huarache “Blue Hero”
Jun 6th
The Nike Air Huarache is one of the better known trainers in the sneaker game. Designed by industry legend, Tinker Hatfield, the Air Huarache is made up of synthetic leather overlays that sit on top of a neoprene bootie. The shoe comes together with the iconic Huarache heel counter. The upper sits on top of a white midsole with tons of character of its own. Unfortunately for American sneaker enthusiasts, the latest Huarache retros have been European exclusives. That is no longer the case as the Nike Huarache “Blue Hero” is in select Foot Locker stores now. The “Blue Hero” colorway is officially a white/wolf grey-blue hero model with the blue hero accents on the heel and the inner lining of the bootie. The blue accents pop against the neutral grey, white, and black that take care of the rest of the shoe for a great looking colorway.
The Nike Air Huarache “Blue Hero” is now available in select Foot Locker stores for $ 100. Check your local store for availability.
