Nike once again are set to release these Solarsoft Moccasins this weekend,only having been around a few months as a new model it comes as no surprise that new colourways are being released such is the speed at which trainers are being released these days. Seems to be as soon as a new model or silhouette is announced and released then within a few months a whole slew of iterations tumble off the production lines,not that this is a bad thing of course.
The idea behind the construction of the Solarsoft Mocc came from various inspirations, the cushioned sole of an Aqua sock 2 (an older model) and various other new techniques and materials in use at the moment.The moccasins in this release utilise hyperfuse technology to reduce the weight of the shoe yet increase its overall durability by using heat pressure to join the different layers of mesh together,which allows for more ventilation and allows the foot to breathe whilst being worn.
The tropical prints on these 3 models are claimed to be representative of the native plant life to Hawaii and all its surrounding environs,from lava fields to dense forested areas and maintain an old vintage clothing feel upon which modern footwear technology is being used.I'd like to think that if Magnum P.I. is still driving his mid life crisis around Hawaii he'd be rocking these for sure. Ideal for warmer climes ,these would be spot on to wear in the UK whilst making the most of the Mediterannean weather we currently are experiencing although I think they're not really suitable for the shy retiring types out there .
The lighter print are a womens colourway and will go up to a UK.9.5 and the other two are in mens sizes,
these are to be released from select Nike stockists like Ran from today, Sat July the 20th.
