The 2017 Versions of These Classic Nike Sneakers Are Unrecognisable
What do you get when you mix classic sneakers with summer sandals? Nike's Air Huarache Sneakers "changed the face of running footwear forever" when they launched back in 1991, but the 2017 version is totally unrecognisable. As Footwear News reports, the brand has reimagined the sneakers as hybrid sandals, and we're definitely intrigued.
Shoe brands are no strangers to hybrids: We've seen "hootie" shoes, "sneakerdrilles," and other inventive twists, so there's no telling what labels will think of next. If you're interested in Nike's newest design, mark your calendars for the August 3 release date.
Scroll down to see Nike's new hybrid shoes launching on August 3.

After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
