Nike's Wonderfully Basic Sneaker Is Looking Mustard-Fresh
When it comes to Nike's latest Killshot 2 sneaker, it's hard not to scream "MUSTARRRDDD" like Kendrick Lamar in his song "tv off." The newest iteration is quite literally as fresh as the satisfyingly tangy condiment.
As basic as its design may be, the Nike Killshot 2 is a favorite in menswear circles — the TV boyfriend club, too. The simple design isn't a bad thing, by the way, as it makes the makeover possibilities endless on Nike's end.
Nike has delivered understated leather upgrades, leaning into the shoe's normal personality but on a subtly luxe level. Nike has also gotten a little bold with its retro-inspired sequel shoe, evident with a grandma-worthy floral iteration and long-tongue "Tiempo" pairs.
In the latest, Nike gives the Killshot 2 a smooth suede makeover rendered in a delicious yellow shade. The shoe is then topped with a crisp black leather Swoosh, adding a hint of textural contrast to the upper. Finally, the Killshot sneaker rounds out with its traditional thick brown gum soles. Clean and simple. Done.
There's no word on when these will be hitting Nike's shelves. However, the above pairs are apparently for grade schoolers.
Nike already has a few suede Killshots in green and royal blue on its website for adults. But sheesh, grown-ups deserve a little mustard suede on their Killshots, too.
