Thanks to the support of J.Crew, the Nike Killshot has become a veritable menswear icon, the shoes outfitting many an enthusiast worldwide. And upon word of the retailer announcing bankruptcy, Nike brought back the silhouette’s OG shape in a number of classic, retro-inspired colorways. Now, in 2021, they’re doings so yet again with a new run of releases, this pair here adapting a fittingly simple “Grey Fog” arrangement.
Like that of past’s bests, this scheme features the signature two-toned aesthetic, with the mesh underlayer grounding the overall palette in shades of a natural cream. Overlaid, panels of suede and leather contrast by a slight margin as they hue a very light grey. This can be found on the eye stays and counter as well as the Swoosh and heel tab. Soles, in contrast to all of the above save for the laces, then rounds off the construction with white-dressed textures.
Grab a detailed look at this low profile tennis staple here and expect to see it in Asia on January 15th. A release stateside should follow at select retailers and Nike.com.
