Nike's Gorp-y All-Red Cross Trainer Is a Love/Hate Thing
The Nike Air Trainer Huarache's return just got a bit challenging (in a good way), with the brand looking to bring back the "Challenge Red" pairs in time for Valentine's Day.
The all-red Air Trainer Huarache sneakers were last seen around 2014, and even got a co-sign from the sneaker god himself, PJ Tucker.
The blazing shoe is a mix of emotions, really. Is it burning with passion? Rage? It's no wonder the sneaker was previously called the "Love/Hate" Huaraches.
Regardless of where you land on the emotional scale, it's still easily one of the most flaming-hot versions of the retro cross-training shoe.
Now, it's back on the menu.
The Air Trainer Huarache "Challenge Red" sneakers are expected to drop on Nike's website on February 6. Expect the same marriage arrangement, with bold red shades paired with sumptuous suede, plus the Huarache's signature touches like the foot strap and chunky outdoor-boot-coded soles.
A Corteiz collaboration helped kick off the revival of the Air Trainer Huarache. Soon after, Nike prepared the model for an even bigger comeback, rolling out some of the most classic colorways as well as fresh, extra-stylish ACG-style options.
With "Challenge Red," the Huarache revival only gets better. It's got a little more love in the mix now.
