Michael Le Compared to the reception of the Air Tuned Max’s return, news of the Air Kukini‘s comeback hasn’t received much love from most sneakerheads. There are, however, a loud and elated few who more than make up for the lack of applause, as these same people have awaited a Retro for many, many years. And alongside the make-ups already revealed, the silhouette will soon release in a “Triple Black” colorway.
Designed by Sean McDowell, who was responsible for the ever-beloved Air Max Plus, the Air Kukini was one of the most interesting sneakers to come out in the early 2000s. A part of the now defunct Alpha Project, the shoe features a laceless construction with a webbed overlay that draws inspiration from speed suit worn by Olympic skier Picabo Street. Here, this cage is clad in a dark black shade, matching both the upper underneath as well as the red unit below.
For a closer look at this blacked out Air Kukini, see the official images below. No firm release date has been set just yet, so sit tight for further updates.
