Nike Kyrache 3 Air Huarache Light Comparison 1

Last year the Nike Kyrie 2 released in a special colorway paying homage to the original Air Flight Huarache basketball shoe from 1992, and now the Huarache theme is back on the Kyrie 3. This time it’s not a classic Huarache basketball shoe that gets its colorway reproduced on the modern Kyrie model, but a classic running shoe, the Air Huarache Light from 1994. Regarded by many as one of the coolest running shoes ever, the Huarache Light’s most famous “Ultramarine” colorway is translated over to the Kyrie 3, featuring a black upper with royal blue, aqua, bright red, and white accents.

If you’re unfamiliar with the OG Air Huarache Light, you can get a side by side comparison of it and the Kyrache 3 here. The Kyrie 3 “Kyrache Light” is available now at select Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com.
