Fans of the Nike Air Kukini — whose numbers are growing by the day — have been desperate for the shoe’s return, clamoring for what has felt like decades. And while Stussy’s collaborative Zoom Spiridon Kukini Cage 2 may have appeased this audience some, it was no replacement for the real thing.
Thankfully, the 2000s silhouette is officially making a comeback later this year, doing so in several colorways. This pair, which subverts the tranquil aesthetic of the make-up unveiled much earlier, dresses its upper in a leopard print. And though obscured partially across the toe, tongue, and heel, the black spots and warm-toned base are on full display in between, as the model’s signature cage is made near entirely see-through.
If you, like us, are excited about the Air Kukini’s return, then expect to see more colorways very soon. For a detailed look at this leopard-adorned make-up, scroll down for the full official images.
In other news, more ALD New Balance 550s are releasing soon.
