Nike's Stylishly Rugged Trail Shoe Has No Business Looking This Good
It's Nike gorpcore world, and we're just living it. The Swoosh brand is still helping advance the outdoor shoe takeover, delivering everything from all-new rugged sneakers to reborn outdoor classics with a twist.
The Nike Air Terra Humara relaunched earlier this year as part of these efforts and, admittedly, looks even better now than it did over 20 years ago.
Designed by Peter Fogg, the Air Terra Humara debuted in 1997 as a sequel to the iconic Air Humura and returned in 2024 through a flawless UNDEFEATED collab. The Air Humara also recently returned to the streets and got spun into a luxury sneaker by, of all people, designer label Jacquemus.
The chunky trail runner that is the Air Humara is cool and all. But the Nike Air Terra Humara is a bit more interesting, boasting a seriously stylish yet outdoorsy setup. The shoe's uppers, in particular, feature wavy textured layers, resulting in a visually appealing design that's also quite sturdy for its intended outdoor use.
The Air Terra Humara also comes with a lugged sole that adds some weight to its silhouette. The detail is undoubtedly on-trend for the ongoing trail sneaker craze, but it also promises an immaculate grip for blazing the trails (or the sidewalks of a big city).
Thankfully, Nike has preserved the stunning design of the OG Air Terra Humara for its return, joined by equally beautiful colorways, the latest being the fairly wordy "Neutral Olive Sequoia," a delicious khaki green-shaded sneaker.
It's unclear when handsome the green Air Terra Humara colorway will release. But with the official images already making their way around the internet, something tells me we'll catch them sooner rather than later on Nike's website.
The sooner is always the better for some fire Nike trail sneakers.
