Known for bringing back sneakers from their archives, Nike is ready to re-release the Air Zoom Veer from 90’s, but with some updated technologies. Before Flyknit was a thing, engineered mesh was big on sneakers, and here we see it wrap the upper, while playing well with patent leather on the strap and side panel. Sticking to the clean aesthetic, Nike gives us a wolf grey and black colorway of the sneakers for a neutral on-court look. Look for these to drop this Saturday, May 28th.
