A Sandal-Inspired Sneaker
The word “huarache” comes from the Purépecha language, an indigenous language from Mexico. The English translation is “sandal.” But these are sneakers, right? Right!
Nike gave this distinct sneaker its name because the design is reminiscent of Mexican-style sandals. The overlays on the upper have a crisscross layering style that mimics the sandals’ design. They also offer such a lightweight, flexible, and breathable feel that they might remind the wearer of easygoing sandals.
Released in 1991 and created by veteran creator Tinker Hatfield, the notable appearance has made these shoes a Nike classic. The geometric qualities and rich style make them a favorite among sneakerheads, including us!
Construction That Conforms to Every Foot
The kids’ Nike Huarache is more than just attractive. This shoe was the first of its kind, including design elements new to the sneaker world. Over four decades later, it’s inspired many other styles but continues to be a triumph in shoe construction.
The neoprene inner bootie design keeps the foot locked in and supported. It offers dynamic comfort with incredible responsiveness and movement.
A Phylon™ foam midsole absorbs the shock impact of each landing. This helps prevent foot fatigue and sore soles while keeping kids energized and bouncy. It’s plush but still supportive and durable.
Thanks to the waffle rubber outsole, kids can feel steady on all surfaces. The rugged deep tread pattern provide stability and grip, even when the floor or ground is slippery and wet.
A heel strap, classic laces, and a contoured collar only add more stability. The uppers can be made from leather and/or synthetic, spandex, neoprene, textile, and thermoplastic materials. Each option offers a different advantage, from durability to lightness to breathability. However, all the upper options deliver the comfort and coverage kids need to have fun comfortably.
