Per Nike: The latest Nike Free OG ’14 reflects the harmonious nature of Japanese gardens with a blend of dark hues and bright accents. Similar to the picturesque elements associated with these gardens, the design incorporates materials and colors inspired by blackened stone, dried bamboo, and the cherry blossom. The design’s upper has been brushed in a black suede with perforations for increased breathability. This muted colorblocking extends to the iconic Nike Free outsole, which has been updated to further enhance your natural range of motion. Pops of pink and volt along the heel pocket break the zen vibes of blackened stone in favor of foliage and floral inspiration. Together, the mix of bold and subdued creates a beautiful juxtaposition, much like the sprawling, peaceful gardens found amid the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.
