Nike Air Huarache Craft
The Nika Air Huarache was a standout sneaker for women over the past few years. Its popularity continued to spread with some amazing colourways through the years. Late last year, Nike announced the 2023 version of the sneaker and it has finally landed.
The Nike Air Huarache Craft has dropped in three colourways, two of which has arrived on South African shores. This includes Sand Drift/Team Gold/Pink Oxford/Earth and Light Silver/Ocean Bliss/Pink Oxford/Citron Tint.
There is a clear distinction in its style, entering a new era for the Huarache while keeping its core design. Standout elements include its large midsole and plastic heel cage.
