Nike’s brilliantly simple (or simply brilliant) “Sneakerboot” concept continues, the series in which sport-inspired silhouettes are remixed with materials and features to withstand extreme elements. Next up is one that tilts a bit closer to boot than sport on the spectrum, the Nike Zoom Astoria Sky Hi Sneakerboot, now dropping overseas in two colorways.
While the “fashion” angle is covered by way of the internal wedge that’s characteristic of “Sky Hi” Nikes, the shoe goes overtly all-terrain as well. A treated leather comprises the upper, fastened with metal eyelets and boot-style laces. Heavy-duty traction pattern and lugs on the outsole add a bit more ACG appeal, while a plush liner keeps the foot warm regardless of conditions.
Still no word on a US release, but these can be had now overseas. Stateside details as they develop.
