I promise I’ll hold off on the Nike/footwear posts after this, but the sneakers below are release-of-the-year in my opinion, and I couldn’t not document them.
Twelves years ago, Nike introduced the Air Woven, a creatively constructed shoe with an unusual aesthetic that reigned popularity amongst sneaker heads and enthusiasts alike. Last week, Nike dropped the Free Inneva Woven, a modern take on its predecessor, which attempts to mimic the natural biomechanics of the foot by applying the meticulously developed 360-degree hand-woven system throughout the entire upper. From the speckled Free 5.0 sole to the premium-leather heel unit, waxed laces and embossed NSW branding throughout, it’s clear that Nike took no shortcuts in the production of this 8-hours-to-complete runner.
The hype and popularity surrounding these extremely limited Free’s resulted in them selling out internationally within a matter of hours. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to have the good folks at Off The Hook notify me the second they got these in stock, which earned me the first of twelve pairs they received in-store.
