Jasmine Tang With its stacked sole design and Air puck, the Nike Air Zoom Type assumes a rather bold, futuristic look. An upcoming women’s pair manages to kick things up a notch by adding space-age patterns and finishes.
The avant-garde design starts with lilac suede uppers that see faint white graphics. Such graphics include a Swoosh on the lateral side, which sees a swirled print reminiscent of the outsole of the Air Force 1. On the medial side, there seem to be symbols representing Olympic Track and Field events such as running strides and passing torches. The fun details continue with a heel overlay and the Air puck opting for a holographic look. Additionally, the stacked sole design sees two different compositions: a green speckled look for the “top” sole and a simple white makeup for the unit below. A layer of bubblegum pink separates these two elements, with the bright hue also applied to the zig-zag stitching details at the forefoot and on the heel. A chocolate brown Waffle outsole delivers traction while completing the whimsical design.
Take a closer look at the Zoom Type below, which will hit Nike.com in the coming months at a price of $150.
