Sportswear label Nike introduced the signature Outburst sneakers in a new colorway entitled 'Oliva Canvas.' The new tonal option boasts retro design elements that explore different soft textures over the uppers -- this gives the sneaker model a plush look. The uppers take on dual-tones in soft suede fabric materials and boast contrasting elements in the form of bright yellow.
The yellow hits the tongue through branding accents, with embroidery at the heel that reads "Just Do It" and over the lacing system as well. The sneaker's lining correlates to the plush finish with khaki fabric as an additional layer of texture. This all sits atop a clean white midsole made from Phylon along with a rubber outsole in black.
