Nike's Air Huarache "Escape" From 2003 is Making a Return
Another piece to add to the silhouette’s 30th anniversary run.
2021 is a celebratory year for Nike as it marks the 30th anniversary of its beloved Air Huarache — a throwback runner-turned-lifestyle silhouette that garnered notoriety for its extremely plush ride and sporty look. After re-releasing its collaborative colorways with Stussy, the model is now digging back into its archives to bring back one of its makeups from 2003 — the Air Huarache “Escape”.
The kicks start out with a traditional Neoprene bootie that is mostly swamped with a teal-ish blue hue and offset with “Smoke Grey” hits that poke out through the mid-foot and the lower parts of the heel. Earthy tones are then pronounced atop the nubuck toe boxes and the mid-foot overlays, the former being swarmed with a lighter “Bisque” hue while the latter is coated with a muted “Rope” tone. Neutral tones also get some playing time here as a stark black covers the model’s signature heel cage while a crisp white graces the interior lining, the laces and the tongue branding. Moving southbound, the midsoles are whipped up with angelic surfaces and paired up with stark black outsoles.
Retailers like Asphalt Gold have these scheduled for a launch on April 16, 2021 for $120 USD.
