All the way back in 2002, Nike released the ultimate nomad sneaker, the City Knife. The shoe featured a slim, laceless design perfect for folding into your travel bag when you weren’t wearing them. Before that came the Pocket Knife in 1998, an ACG model designed to be collapsible and as versatile as an actual pocket knife. Now NikeLab combines the two models into this latest innovative and stylish sneaker for women, the City Knife 3 Flyknit.
The shoe features the versatility and packability of its predecessors, with a modern look and construction in a one-piece Flyknit upper with a rubber strap to keep you locked in. The translucent rubber sole features four distinct segments that reflect the lines of the original City Knife and allow greater flexibility whether they’re on your feet or in your luggage.
The women’s NikeLab City Knife 3 Flyknit will be available May 11 on the Nike+ app, Nike.com and at select retailers. Every pair also comes packaged with a special travel bag.
