Nike Launches a Paint-Splattered Tonal Air Kukini Sneaker
Nike introduces a new paint-splattered tonal iteration of the Air Kukini sneaker model for the season. The shoe made its original debut back in 2000 as a part of the brand's Alpha Project and this time around, it is detailed with the aforementioned paint splatters on top of a black base foundation.
The upper is made from neoprene materials in black and the random splotches are applied in a variety of colors throughout. The black detail also continues at the nubuck overlaying details and is held by the shoe's signature web-like slightly clear TPU cage. It has a white midsole for a touch of contrast and branding details are seen in the sole unit and the tongue section.
