D.O.P.E. KICKS: Nike Aerofits

The ladies miss out on a lot of cool releases that only come in men’s sizes, but here is a nice offering from Nike that’s just for them. This black/white Nike Aerofit model can play some serious tricks on the eyes. From a distance, it appears to sport a simple plaid design on the tongue and across the back of the upper, but a closer look reveals an intricate geometric pattern with intersecting black lines that actually create the illusion of white, black and grey boxes.

The shoe also features patterned laces that seem to help drag the optical design across the front of the shoe. A clean white toe and sections of black bring a nice balance to the busy patterned areas.

NOW AVAILABLE @ NIKESTORE!!!!
