The Nike One Star Seeker debuted last fall, blending a chukka silhouette with the Nike Free Run 4.0 V3 familiar branding from what might be the Chuck Taylor Free Run’s most famous offspring. And now it’s time for more seeking this spring with two new pairs popping up in faded canvas with white contrast stitching to match their laces and Stars. Your choice of blue or black will in either case yield a versatile lifestyle look that feels like a traditional casual shoe but has just a pinch of that classic Nike athletic appeal. Check out both pairs after the jump, then buy one or both of them directly from Nike.
The Panama hat is a straw head-topper with a traditional brim often worn to accompany lightweight summertime suits. As such, they denote a certain kind of casual Air Max 87 Womens luxury, and Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 that feel is very much echoed by this upcoming pair of Chuck Taylors. The Nike Free Run Panama-Hat Hi applies the familiar texture of a woven upper to a beige pair that looks like the exact shade Air Max himself has shading that unmistakable monocle, as well as a brown edition whose hat version you’d want to steer clear on a hot day. But as footwear, they’re supremely versatile with just a hint of upscale appeal, and you’ll find them available now from select Nike Japan retailers.
Michael Jordan’s greatness in the game of basketball came before his time with the Chicago Bulls, when he made the White and Carolina a legendary visual scheme during his National Championship winning years with UNC. Before the Air Jordan and certainly before Nike, Jordan made iconic the Nike Pro Leather, a historically significant and influential basketball sneaker that has played a major role in what we see today.
