Chances are, primed with the words ‘sneakers’ and ‘power lines’, you’d come up with that iconic urban image of kicks hanging from an electric cable. Whether they’re code for your neighborhood or someone imitating those origins, you wouldn’t expect to be able to rock those again once they’re looped around some ridiculous voltage. But rather than leaving you fried to a crisp, the Nike Free Powerlines+ is a sneaker that seeks to fill you with a similar energetic charge. The Powerlines find themselves somewhere between Flywire and Fly Knit, and this purple-accented grey and red colorup is sure to be seen running down a street near you when they arrive at select retailers this summer.
