Nike Air Huarache
The model that started it all. The Nike Air Huarache was a brainchild of Nike design legend Tinker Hatfield that asked runners “Have you hugged your foot today?” The lightweight runner stripped away the busy Swoosh branding and instead let the technology talk.

With the Huarache model Nike created a sneaker that is since almost 30 years a true classic. The Nike Air Huarache made its debut in 1991, when Nike hesitated to mass-produce the model. First a test run sold at the NYC marathon, where the runners were thrilled by the Huarache, convinced Nike. Barely in mass-production the model made it to a lifestyle choice.
Lightly and lightweight the model cares for mobility is the most comfortable Nike sneaker for most of the people.
The Upper is mostly made from neoprene which makes it so characteristically comfortable.
Many other Nike models benefit from the achievements of the Huarache, like the Nike Air Mowabb and the Jordan VII.
