The Air Huarache, created by Nike designer Tinker Hatfield, made its first appearance in 1991. Its notable feature is its minimalist design, which draws inspiration from the sandals that influenced its name. To bring forth a modern take on this iconic silhouette, Nike introduced the Huarache NM in 2015. This updated version combines the trademark heel-strap with a neoprene upper and a unique rope lacing-system. Adding to its appeal is the subtle yet sophisticated color scheme of dark gray and Anthracite.
