Nike slowed the pace of Air Huarache releases at the end of 2023 and shifted focus to the Air Huarache Runner, the slimmer sibling of Tinker Hatfield’s original 1991-born design.

The re-introduction of the Nike Air Humara has been somewhat camouflaged by Nike ACG revivals among other new outdoor-minded offerings, not that fans of the 1997-born trail shoe are complaining. Aficionados have had their pick of the litter when it comes to available styles and colorways, many of which center around earth tones like this latest Light Army application for women.

The 42-year-old Nike Air Force 1 has taken on myriad new forms throughout its time as one of the sportswear brand’s most-heralded silhouettes. Among them, the Nike Air Force 1 Wild, which was formally introduced in the latter half of 2023, transforms the flagship silhouette with a more durable, textural finish. Building on the variety of monochromatic iterations that arrived at launch, as well as the “Beige” colorway that debuted earlier this year, Nike has just shared a first look at the design’s latest makeover in “Olive/Orange.”

So here he comes: all 6-feet-0, 33 years of him, dressed in a lavish semaphore of painfully scarce Off White. He is turning the corner—both literally, nearing West Street, or Brewer Street, or Oranienstraße—and also metaphorically, because this will be his most grailed and consequential drop yet. Today, it’s Corteiz. But last month, last year, last decade: Wales Bonner, Cactus Jack’s, Salehe x Bembury Moncler.
