Nike's Glide Flyease Gets a Mercury Grey Colorway Design
Nike introduces a new Mercury Gray colorway of the Glide Flyease sneaker model. The silhouette boasts a laceless design and is entirely hands-free. The minimally designed footwear delivers gray palettes throughout with space gray and black at the upper applied with mesh materials in order to deliver breathability.
It is then marked with a white Swoosh on the mid-foot section. A notable part of the shoe is the TPU heel clip that gives off a brushed iron completion. Additional accents include the FLYEASE pull tabs at the back for a touch of functionality along with the elastic chords that are seen in place of the usual lacing system over the forefoot. The midsoles are detailed with speckled accents to round it all out.
