Before it was the subject of premium overhauls and woven make-ups, Nike’s Mayfly was a lightweight and affordable runner intended to last wearers 100km. Now the Swoosh is taking the silhouette back to its roots with the introduction of the Mayfly Lite SE. Debuting in a military-inspired “Legion Green” colorway with “Volt” lining, the design readopts the Mayfly’s old ripstop nylon upper, but modifies things a bit with the addition of lacing loops (in place of the usual eyelets) and some padding to the heel/collar.

Fans can find these now at Titolo while more colorways are undoubtedly on the way for Spring/Summer 2017.
