The Nike LunarElite Sky Hi sneakerboot is a show influenced by the Nike Air Zoom Flight, a basketball shoe that came with an iconic zipper-fastening shroud that took over the shoe's entire upper.
This shoe's outsole acts as a helipad for the Nike Lunarlon wedge, which made its first appearance on the 2013 edition of the LunarElite Sky Hi. The exaggerated performations and vented neoprene liner seen in that show were changed drastically to help the shoe become a proper sneakerboot.
The shoe's upper is treated with special patent leather that serves to significantly boost its water resistance.
The Nike LunarElite Sky Hi SneakerBoot is available for purchase at select global Nike Sportswear retail outlets in addition to the official Nike Sportswear online store.
