Hybrids have, for better or worse, become a staple of the sneaker market. Thanks to Kixandthecity, we’ve got a look at the samples for the Nike Air Hoop Structure. As the name implies, the shoe is a basketball make up of the classic Nike Air Structure Triax ‘91. While the typical hybrid has crossed a two designs from a single type, this breaks a mold generating a basketball shoe from a runner. The sole has been modified, the heel counter raised, but at essence the Air Structure Triax sings through. Classic colors, like the above infrared, have also been employed.
