A$AP Bari Shows Off (Faux) Pony Hair-Covered Nike Boots

A$AP Bari has become a regular in the world of previewing new Nike footwear products. A mainstay within the inner circle of Cactus Plant Flea Market, the New York City-native recently took to Instagram to show off two upcoming releases of the Air Max Goadome boot. Both styles are covered in faux pony hair.

A staple within Harlem, the Bronx, and other neighborhoods across the "Big Apple," the ACG-informed silhouette has waned in popularity over the last 15 years. Fellow Harlemites have previously gotten into debates with Wale and other folks from the greater Washington, D.C. area over which place made "Nike Boots" (as the Goadome is often referred to) popular. As touched on in our "Breaking Down the Wale-Nike G.T. Future Connection" feature, the model's designer himself, Carl Blakeslee, recognizes D.C. and Baltimore as "the first cities to truly embrace the Goa."

The pairs shown off by Bari maintain the rugged Air Max-assisted sole unit that made the Goadome a success in the first place, but opts for fashion-forward material across the upper. One style dons an all-"Black" finish while the accompanying pair features a "Sail/Cacao Wow/Sail/Black" color scheme that recreates a cow-inspired print atop the faux pony hair.

Enjoy an early look at the dup ahead. Pairs are expected to release via Nike.com by December for $230 each.
