The Nike Air Presto Gets Covered in Polka Dots
Meet the “Nike Hike.”
Millennial sneaker collectors remember when the Nike Air Presto was released in 2000. Marketed as “a t-shirt for your feet,” the silhouette premiered in thirteen colorways, all releasing at once. The sneaker featured a groundbreaking knit upper and was sized in an XXS – XL range. Animated commercials amplified the multi-part drop, with each shoe given playful monikers like Rabid Panda, Shady Milkman and Rogue Kielbasas.
As Y2K trends continue to see increased popularity, it was only natural that Nike would begin to rerelease playful Presto colorways inspired by throwback releases.
The “Nike Hike” echoes the printed Prestos from the early aughts. A “Photo Blue” polka dot print covers the upper, contrasted by a gray tongue, pink laces, black external cage and green TPU heel counter.
Look out for the Nike Air Presto “Nike Hike” to release in the coming weeks with a $130 USD price tag.
