We’re seeing a slight resurgence for the Flyknit Trainer in 2018.
Until recently, Nike has been fairly stingy with new colourways of its second Flyknit sneaker. One of the new Trainer colourways to hit shelves this month is all-white with a faint gum outsole—a fever dream for white sneaker fans and Flyknit freaks.
This is the kind of shoe you’d almost never want to wear, until one special day that you do decide to bust them out—but only ever-so-cautiously.
It’s the kind of shoe you’d take great pains to protect from errant ketchup drippings or sauce splashes. It’s the kind of shoe you’d scrub after every use, just to make sure that the scuffs come off post haste. It’s the kind of shoe that would have you walk home barefoot on a rainy day.
But if you’re not the type to slave over white-on-white sneakers, there are an additional two Flyknit Trainer colorways that won’t need quite as much coddling: The “Thunder” Flyknit Trainers, which are three shades of gray with blue accents; and the “Olive” Flyknit Trainers, which are olive green with red accents.
