Woven Cut-Out Kicks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The NikeLab Free Inneva is a Feminine Sandal-Sneaker Hybrid

— October 15, 2015 — Fashion
The NikeLab Free Inneva is a sandal-sneaker crossover shoe that offers ultimate comfort but can still be worn with dresses and skirts.

The NikeLab Free Inneva uses Nike Free technology as its base, giving the sandal a sturdy gripping sole. It offers much more protection and support than most fashionable flat-soled women's sandals. But this isn't to say that the women's NikeLab Free Inneva isn't stylish. Incorporating of-the-moment design elements like woven patches and cut-outs along the side of the shoe, the NikeLab Free Inneva looks more like a pretty summer sandal than an athletic sneaker. These fashionable accents also cleverly allow for maximum breathability in hot summer months.

For an added touch of femininity, the NikeLab Free Inneva comes in a Champagne colorway, with the rosy, subtle pink complementing the shoe's elegant design.
