Inspired by the traditional Japanese dessert kakigori, the Nike Court Force Hi Premium 'Shaved Ice' was introduced in July 2007. This sneaker features a patent leather upper that mimics the soft and vibrant colors of the confection, highlighted by a gradient finish on the collar and eyestays, as well as a multicolored stripe trim. To provide a classic lockdown and secure fit, the shoe comes with patterned laces. Adding a unique twist to the 80s basketball silhouette, the gum cupsole and rubber outsole sport a faded hue, completing the overall design.
