Nike has announced a new addition to the popular Nike Roshe Run collection, titled the Roshe Run Hyperfuse. This collection will feature additions to the previous all mesh model, including suede and additional panelling, and will be released in a variety of tones and hues this fall.
The construction of the sneaker will remain the same as per last, but fans will now be introduced to completely new colorways. Moreover, the sneakers will be a 'QuickStrike' release, which means there will be very, very, limited sneakers available on release day.
The Roshe Run was released as an incredibly affordable casual sneaker by Nike. Upon release the Roshe Run sold out everywhere to Nike’s surprise. The sneaker has since been released several times over with a much higher price point with identical results. This two-tone mesh/suede release will please fans and speak to new colours for Fall 2013.
