As a follow up to the Nike Oasis Safari that came out earlier in July 2006, this new version is a more simple version with its two tone upper colors. The shoes sports suede material for the tan color while the dark brown color is made up of a more rigid material. It’s a perfect alternative for those looking for a simple earth tone look. Definitely a fresh break from all the crazy colorways releasing these days.
