What do you get when you mix a ’80s hiking boot and a ’90s running shoe? In the case of the new sacai x Nike collab, the result is a ruggedly elegant hybrid that once again highlights the exceptional talent of sacai founder Chitose Abe to layer unexpected components for heightened form and function:
While the lugged outsole, the round boot laces and the suede panelling draw inspiration from the Nike Air Magma, the airy textiles and the side-lacing design are an homage to the Nike Air Footscape. The double eyestays, housing two sets of laces for easy adjustment, round out the futuristic shoe for everyday exploration.
