For those of you that aren’t familiar with the trainer, they’re steeped in sneaker history, like all great Nike trainers before them. Created by the legendary Nike designer Tinker Hatfield, this famous silhouette goes back as far as 1991. Inspired and named after a Native American sandal, Nike’s Air Huarache model transformed trainer fit forever. When they launched all those years ago, Nike asked us ‘Have You Hugged Your Foot Today?’.
This of course related to the snug, glove-like fit from their neoprene and spandex sock contained neatly within the upper. If the secure fit, coupled with trademark air unit didn’t already make the sneaker scene sit up and pay attention, the iconic thermoplastic heel strap and unrivalled for comfort certainly did.
The Light OG finally made its grand return this weekend, ten years after it’s last retro. The shoe is clean & classic, the beloved style sees a blue suede mudguard wrapping with a black mesh upper half accompanied by black tonal laces. Light blue liner & toe add complementary styling with a contrast of red pops off the accents & outsole.
The ticks that box for everyone. From the early 90's all the way through to today the Huarache has been worn by all of our favourites, basketball legend Michael Jordan, the Fresh Prince himself Will Smith, Football sensation Cristiano Ronaldo, the chart-topping Drake & even supermodel Gigi Hadid have all been seen rocking their pairs.
Every region in Mexico has its different style of but there has been no official count of all the different styles.Traditional sandals exist in Japan called Waraji, a word that sounds quite similar to Huarache although there is no evidence of any connection between the two sandals.All woven Huaraches are all made using a single strip of leather or textile that is woven around the last and through holes in the sole."
