Are These New Nike Huaraches A Response To The Yeezy Boost 350?

The Nike Huarache series continues to adapt to the modern times with two brand new silhouettes in the Nike Huarache Utility and the Nike Huarache Ultra. The Ultra’s style is a more simplistic of the duo thanks to a seamless upper, slimmed-down heel cage, and the midsole reminiscent of the 1991 classic with a little Roshe middle ground thrown in. But are these two new colorways a response to all of the adidas Yeezy success of 2015? The Flyweave upper complete with an ambiguous print definitely gives us a Yeezy vibe, and Nike has to be aware of their former employee and collaborator’s success over at the rival three stripes. The slip-on upper definitely benefits from the one-piece knit construction courtesy of the follow-up to Flyknit. Translucent fuse technology hits around the toecap and lace eyelets for extra support. All in all, the two colorways – a white/black and red/navy, allow for a breathable addition to the Huarache family. What do you think of the look?
