Beaverton still has a stranglehold on everyday wear; just try to count how many Dunk, Air Force 1, or Vomero 5 pairs you see on a day-to-day basis. However, the Swoosh is keenly aware that retro gravy train can’t make up the entirety of their lifestyle category. As part of a renewed focus on “newness,” the Nike Ava Rover is entering its second calendar year as a novel entrant to the vertical.

It’s only ever a matter of time before any Swoosh product touches “Triple White,” and this edition of the Ava Rover is the closest we’ve come to date. A black mini Swoosh and black pull-tab collide atop this otherwise snowy arrangement for some contrast and visual intrigue. Other than the palette flip, the selling point of this pairs remains the same as previous ones; ReactX foam for all-day comfort and a slick upper construction built for year-round wear and condition-ready hardiness.

The Nike Ava Rover “Pure Platinum” is available now via Nike.com, retailing for $145 in adult sizing. Check for your size via the “Where To Buy” links below.
