With the warmer months coming NikeLab recently unveiled a clean black and white colorway of its summer-ready silhouette, the Air Zoom Chalapuka. The sneaker mashes Nike’s Chapuka and the Air Zoom Talaria models to create a ventilation-focused lifestyle shoe inspired by the ’90s footwear boom. On the latest iteration, a black mesh base and premium black leather die cut side panels make up the upper, while a solid white full-length midsole and subtle Swooshes break up the mainly tonal design. No official release notes for NikeLab’s Black/White Air Zoom Chalapuka yet, but stayed tuned for more details when they become available.
