The symbiotic relationship between tennis legend Serena Williams and the footwear giant Nike has been the stuff of legends. In retirement, Serena's focus has been thrust into collaborations, merging the realms of sport, design, and cultural significance. Now, adding to their illustrious partnership, the Serena Williams Design Crew (SWDC) unveils its take on the iconic Nike Air Huarache, and it's a sight to behold.
Slated to join the anticipated multi-pair collection dropping at the end of August, the Air Huarache stands proud, offering a fresh visual experience that resonates with the aesthetics of its sister pairs - the Dunk Low Disrupt 2 and Air Max 1. Adhering to a harmonious color palette of pristine white, radiant golden-yellow, and tranquil teal, the Air Huarache veers predominantly towards the white shade, making it a versatile piece for any ensemble.
The accents, though subtle, have been executed to perfection. The soothing teal graces the inner linings and the signature rear clips, and when paired with sporadic bursts of yellow in the form of intricate stitching and thread, it evokes a sense of meticulous design intent. Yet, while the color interplay is commendable, what truly sets this iteration of the Air Huarache apart is its thoughtful design adaptations that echo the SWDC's unique ethos.
A bold departure from the familiar, the revamped vamp overlays introduce a contemporary laceless finish, offering both a sleek look and ease of wear. Furthermore, a consistent topographic print, a hallmark of this collection, meanders across the shoe, adding depth and an artistic flair to its design.
See for yourself below, and look for these to be released as part of the entire collection on Nike.com come September 14th.
