Nike Upgrades the Air Humara With Ripstop
Joined by a textured leather mudguard and a fabric-covered midsole.
Last year, Nike teamed up with Jacquemus for the first time to reimagine the Air Humara as the Air Humara LX. Leaning away from its hiking roots and favoring a more playful approach, the Swoosh has since circled back to the Humara’s 1997 origins with trail-ready presentations ranging from “Faded Spruce” to “Midnight Navy.”
Now, it branches out with a refreshed build of the sneaker that sees its typical mesh replaced with ripstop. Its color composition similarly explores new territory with coral orange leather overlays joined by a complementary soft pink. A rugged gum sole built to withstand the elements backs the look while its midsole favors a fabric cover in a pink and white checkered pattern. Joining the pink ripstop base, the leather mudguard features a prominent pattern with typical Nike and Air branding sprinkled in throughout. Lastly, the midsole’s medial heel carries illegible text that mimics the finish of a blue ballpoint pen, possibly pointing towards the colorway’s inspiration.
As of now, no release information for this ripstop-backed colorway of the Nike Air Humara has surfaced. It’s currently expected to land on shelves in the coming months via Nike and select retailers at a starting price of $160 USD.
For more of the latest news in the world of footwear, the Corteiz x Nike Air Max 95 “Pink Beam” is scheduled to launch online in Europe, the Middle East and Africa following its NYC pop-up.
