BACK TO THE PAST
For as much as it innovates, NIKE, Inc. is never shy about revisiting its archives to unearth classics. On this front, the Swoosh has revealed plans to reissue the Nike Air Max Plus “Olympic” from 2000. The Nike Huarache has also emerged in original colorways throughout the first five months of 2021 as part of its 30th anniversary celebration. Tinker Hatfield’s iconic design, however, has also indulged in retro styles that wouldn’t cause suspicion if placed on a retailer’s running shoe shelf in the early 1990s. Although it’s scheduled to release in some previously-seen arrangements, the Nike Dunk Low took the last seven days to show off new designs. Among them, pairs inspired by the South Korean flag and giraffes.
As has become customary, several silhouettes from under the Air Jordan banner surfaced in new colorways throughout the week. The Air Jordan 1 appeared in a multi-color arrangement via unofficial images, but was arguably overshadowed by the New Balance 327 “Utility Black,” a far-from-OG take on the 25-year-old silhouette.
