Nike's Got a New Low-Rise, Killshot-ish Sneaker
A new Nike sneaker has entered the Swoosh low-top lifestyle shoe group chat. Its name, you may ask? It goes by the Nike Court Shot.
The Nike Court Shot follows the simple but trendy design thriving across the sneaker industry: low profiles, flat soles, and retro appeal.
Nike's Court Shot sneaker is kind of like the Killshot 2, a classic low-top Swoosh shoe, but with some slight upgrades. Nike's latest ankle-barring sneaker features a more raised sole and a couple more extra Swooshes than the classic Killshot.
Also, Nike's Court Shot sneaker includes this sort of lifting heel tab, which gives the sleek sneaker an intentional imperfection (a nice detail, by the way, for visual interest).
Elsewhere, the Nike Court Shot shoe presents traditional buttery leather uppers and equally textural logos. And again, Nike molds the sneaker in a sought-after slim shape, which could easily be dubbed the next "it" shoe by flat shoe admirers.
Nike has started out the Court Shot sneaker with a few classic colorways like "Black/White" and "Flax," making them easy to slip into everyday rotations. And there's plenty more to come, according to photos shared by sneaker leakers.
As of late, Nike has continued to show much love to its sporty low-top sneakers, like the Field General and Killshot 2, by giving them modern refreshes, stylish material upgrades, and, sometimes, adidas-level outfits. These touches make the already versatile shoes even more delectably stylish.
If the new Court Shot follows in the footsteps of its other low-rise siblings, we can only imagine what's next. Even better schemes and textural makeovers likely await all Minimalist Nike Enjoyers down the road.
