History of the The low-top Nike Air Huarache Drift

The Nike Air Huarache sneaker was unveiled in the early 90s and was designed by Tinker Hatfield, a veteran shoe designer. The Swoosh was hesitant to introduce this model to the market as it showcased a profile that is way ahead of its time. Nevertheless, hundreds of runners demanded the release of this pair after its test run in the early 90s.

The Huarache carried the theme "Stripped to Bare Essential" to let the technology of the shoe stand out. The Nike Swoosh branding was even stripped off to stay as authentic as possible to the mantra of this model.

Its brand combined the neoprene and spandex sock on the upper to produce a "Huarache fit." This shoe was soon tagged as the purest performance sneaker ever designed. This model has effortlessly earned its status as an icon in the basketball courts and into the streets.
