Double Tap to Zoom

Nike’s “NAI-KE” series, an Asia-exclusive line sporadically dropping limited-edition sneakers, is jumping on the Nike Air Footscape Woven resurgence. And it isn’t only releasing the recently resurrected shoe in an exclusive colorway, it’s giving it a full structural revamp.

The woven strip of fabric that gives the Air Footscape its distinctive, unorthodox look has been zoomed in on by Nike NAI-KE and used for practically the entire upper.

Dressed in milky off-white with contrasting hits of blue and gray, various strips of braided material criss cross each other along the shoe.

Plus, to add to the eye-catching finish, there are toggle laces with beads on the end. 

The Nike Footscape has always been a divisive sneaker. Nike even openly admitted that the shoe’s asymmetric build was not to everyone’s tastes, launching the model in the ‘90s with the tagline: “Trust your feet, not your eyes.”

However, as the brand started experimenting more, bringing woven uppers and chukka boot-builds into the mix, it built a strong fanbase that appreciates the shoe’s quirks. It's those fans of unconventional sneakers who will be excited to see the Nike Nike Air Footscape Woven NAI-KE be released later this year.
