amazon Air Huarache reviews
Nike Air Huarache – one of the perfect shoes in terms of performance, design, and historical values.
People will think of “designer witch” Tinker Hatfield when it comes to classic Nike shoe designs.
What makes the difference to Tinker Hatfield’s design is its uniqueness, breakthrough, which still guarantees the basic values of sports shoes (Nike Air Max, Air Jordan).
“The Nike Air Huarache concept comes from one of my experiences,” recalls Hatfield. “On a day of water skiing, I was impressed by the neoprene lining inside the water ski boots, and it was so soft and hugely close to the feet. Can hold close to the legs, “neoprene material does very well.”
The first version of the Nike Air Huarache was released in 1991 (Air Huarache OG 1991), with a colorful color scheme and a pretty name: “Scream Green” (white/black/blue/neon blue).
Next to the most formidable Adidas, the 90s of last century was the golden age of Nike as many other shoe models were launched. The message Nike wanted to convey through Air Huarache was “We All Shine On,” from the late John Lennon’s song “Instant Karma.”
“We All Shine On” – Each person’s personality is like a star, unique and unlike anyone. Shine your way.
In addition to the breakthrough Air Max 1 design, since the Air Huarache launch, it has created the premise and inspiration for future Nike shoe designs to improve design and technology.
A detailed review of Nike Air Huarache
Perhaps a brief history has given you some insights on this shoe for those who do not know about Air Huarache. Go into design detail and performance with the red plum “Team Red,” released in September/2016.
The “Team Red” color scheme is a combination of red plum (body of shoe/shoelace), black (plastic stabilizer heel), platinum (lining), and white (midsole).
That is a harmonious overall color; whitish/reddish tones create contrast; help shoes stand out on foot. In the writer’s personal opinion, this color scheme clarifies the volume and the eye-catching details of Air Huarache.
Design
Air Huarache “Team Red” carries on its design and the first analog material since 1991. Created for the sake of athletics and fashionable.
Characteristic is the open design trend, which honors minimalism with its sock-like design and similar heel-cage resilience on sandals. Maybe you will wonder how much the shoes look so much in detail and where is the minimalism?
First of all, even the Nike brand of shoes, but no “swoosh,” the brand name only appears on the heel frame. Use the imagination to get rid of the details; we will see that the design of Air Huarache is simple but still unique.
Upper Body – Upper
Air Huarache’s upper body has a multi-layered structure, paired with “antique” materials: traditional nets, synthetic leather, neoprene felt, soft plastic heel stabilizer.
In general, the body of the Air Huarache has three layers: muff/lining (neoprene / artificial leather), shoe (mesh / artificial leather), two leather “belts” Lock-down) for the foot, and also the location of the ten piercing holes each side increases the customization possibilities for the user.
One of the most important details that make Air Huarache unique is the heel-cage plastic heel-cage frame instead of the hard plastic heel-notch as other shoe models.
The neoprene layer is soft, elastic, well-fitting from the heel to the ankle for comfortable but not loosened by the plastic frame. Nike has applied the high performance from this design to many other basketball shoes.

Midsole/Outsole
Air Huarache’s midsole is made entirely from high-grade phylloxide (EVA), which undergoes compression molding (Air Technology) at the shoe’s heels.
Air Huarache’s mid-sole is quite soft, softer than the phylon on other shoe models (compared to the phoenix on Biti’s Hunter). The air unit in the heel has a shock-absorbing effect when the athlete is strong; the person wearing the shoe must have a high weight to feel (> 80kg).
However, the point deduction and the midsole characteristics by phylon: wrinkle, elastic reduction after a period of use. You can see the middle of the base has had specific wrinkles on foot.
When evaluating a pair of running shoes, the outsole can not be overlooked. Covering the center of the Air Huarache is the distinctive rubber outsole of these shoes in the 1990s.
Air Huarache’s outer sole is a waffle sole (with waffle-like, wax-like streaks). In addition, three grooves (flex groove) increase flexibility for the foot’s movement (the principle is similar to free-run technology but not as high efficiency).
The back of the structure is similar, but the square is slightly louder, slightly beveled in the heel to reduce shock when in contact with the ground.
Why is the outsole on the soles of the feet to open the phylon? Is it to show the Nike Air logo? Not wrong, but that gap mainly helps increase the phylon assistive capacity and airbag in the shoe’s sole.
In general, Air Huarache’s midsole / outside soles offer a smooth feel but should only be used with treadmills or flat surfaces.
Support for midsole and outsole is sock-liner with the Nike Air logo sealed tightly, similar to the Ortholite lining commonly found on general sports shoes.
