Staying true to the core qualities and aesthetics of the original sneaker, the new shoe also sees a series of versatile updates. Like the classic staple, this re-imagined version is meticulously crafted and has the signature embroidered tongue, outsole logo, heel logo, and inner signature label. Other new additions include a seamless inner forefoot and two-ply duck canvas for added durability. Comfort is definitely key with this new sneaker, featuring an Ortholite foot bed with imbedded Nike Zoom Air Technology, as well as an open weave forefoot made with soft cotton and leather, for more mobility over long periods of wear.
