References: highsnobiety
Nike's Zoom Vomero 5 sneakers get a new look which is made by the 'Design by Japan' branch, which fuses elements of the sportswear brand and the dynamic Japanese design of collective Japan Think Tank.
It takes the progressive sneaker and fuses it with the creative craftsmanship of Japan. Starting with the build, it replaces the usual mesh-like upper with a leather material making up the base. Over this are suede touches for a premium and textural contrast. Additional details include the leather caps on the heel and mesh comes back in the form of the tongue on this variation. The Swoosh branding is slightly larger and done in smooth black leather on the sides.
