Originally released in the year 2000, the Nike Air Kukini is a cult classic whose disruptive design even rivals that of the Air Tuned Max. And though Retro’d for the first time in 2012, the silhouette quickly faded into obscurity — that is, however, until Stussy’s interpretation of the silhouette back in 2020. The collaboration gave many hope of a true return, a comeback that is finally just around the corner.
As unveiled by sneaker leakers, the Air Kukini is to arrive soon in two new colorways. The first is a simple, neutral-dominant undertaking, built of what looks to be dark green and black fixtures. Alongside, the shoe is to appear clad in militaristic hues, blending together both light and dark shades of olive. A touch of orange, then, accents the outsole and TPU cage, ostensibly paying homage to the beloved MA-1 jacket.
Enjoy a close-up look at these here and sit tight as we await release details.
