Nike Claymoor Sample

William Freeman — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:49:35 +0000

If you liked what you have seen of the Nike Manor that has been casually (pun intended) making its way around the internet then the Nike Claymoor should be love at first site. The tennis silhouette packs as much easy style as its contemporaries and does so with a low cut that is sure to set off those cargo shorts once the sun comes back. The canvas clad kick does feature suede trim on the heel tab but this model is certain to let your foot breathe as it has a perforated swoosh along its side. This pair is a sample but look for them to be at retail soon in a few styles.
