The Nike Mayfly was originally created to be a running shoe so light that it would break down after only a few races – 62 miles worth to be exact. The name ‘Mayfly’ was a reference to the short lifespan of the model given how the insect has a notoriously short life cycle as well. Nobody expected Nike Sportswear to do the opposite – bolstering the silhouette with premium woven renditions and touches of suede and leather instead of the usual lightweight Tyvek upper. Today we get a look at five upcoming Nike Mayfly lifestyle renditions perfect for any occasion. The original cracked graphic returns with suede, leather, and nubuck touches in off white, olive, and obsidian. Two other pairs feature a ribbed corduroy-esque two-toned finish in either maroon or obsidian. Which pair are you a fan of? Check out more detailed photos below and stay tuned for a release date later this summer.
