While far from being the most-coveted sneaker silhouette from the early 2000s, the Nike Air Kukini continues to blend old and new as the year progresses.

Recently, the performance-informed model appeared in a playful, “Pixel” theme reminiscent of past gaming-inspired releases from the Swoosh. Web-reminiscent covers spanning the entirety of the upper deliver a semi-translucent finish, while the breathable, water-wicking mesh base indulges in a medley of LED light-like hues and patterns. “NIKE” text at the toe box and sock-liners indulge in a pixelated aesthetic that further plays into the Kukini‘s theme, with sole units underfoot opting for a simple color combination that allows for the upper to revel in the spotlight.

Enjoy official images of the pair ahead, and anticipate a Nike SNKRS launch soon.
