“Shibusa” is the Japanese word for simplicity, a word that served as the core inspiration for this Nike silhouette. The Air Shibusa is a versatile and casual design that takes its roots from the basketball courts. Featuring a lightweight upper and responsive cushioning, the shoe is both comfortable and convenient with its slip-on design. Its upper is comprised of mesh for breatheability while its Phylon midsole is topped off with an encapsulated Air-Sole unit. Retailing for $100 USD, pick up your pair at Nike.com.
