In 1991, the Air Huarache was unveiled. The Tinker Hatfield-designed shoe was inspired by the practicality of South American sandals and the flexible fit of neoprene water-ski booties. Released in May 2018, the Nike Air Huarache Drift Breathe sneaker uses the original as a template and adds upgraded style and technology. Supported by an elastic heel strap and midfoot cage, the Flywire-wrapped upper rests above Air-Sole cushioning.
