After the hype of the Huarache release earlier this year, it appears Nike is ready to ride the retro horse to the bank and back. Teasing what appears to be three colorways for an upcoming release, this is a fitting announcement amidst the rumored retro’s of Andre Agassi’s signature kicks. Expanding upon the OG white/yellow/black look, Nike appears to be adding a “Suns” and Carolina-ish white/blue colorway reminiscent of the decade that birthed these classic kicks.
