Nike Air Terra Humara x Undefeated
"Light Menta"
FN7546-301
Los Angeles streetwear brand Undefeated has worked on some of Nike’s most iconic silhouettes since their first collaboration in the early 2000s. In 2023, this long-term partnership turned its attention to Nike’s late 90s trail running shoe, the Air Terra Humara. This vintage silhouette was carefully chosen by Undefeated as a nod to the brand’s beginnings as a sneaker boutique. At that time, its founders, Eddie Cruz and James Bond, were focused on giving Undefeated a strong identity. To do so, they stocked a carefully curated selection of shoes which included models that wouldn’t normally be seen in a sneaker store. One of these was the Terra Humara, which went from being a model made for outdoor activities to a beloved lifestyle sneaker. The Undefeated x Nike collaborative colourways paid homage to this by emulating some of the features and materials used on the Terra Humaras that could be found in the brand’s original Los Angeles store.
Covered in vibrant tones and premium materials, this collaborative Nike Air Terra Humara x Undefeated design is an eye-catching sneaker with a strong functional aspect. Light Menta is the primary tone to feature on the shoe, covering its curvaceous overlays, the distinctive rubberised heel and the speckled midsole. The charcoal-coloured fabric of the underlayer accentuates this bright turquoise hue, while the black toe cap and sidewall swooshes establish a deep tonal contrast. Striking pink accents show up alongside hints of Light Menta on the black outsole, which is sprinkled with light speckles. Bright tones then distinguish Undefeated’s Play Dirty slogan on the upper, as well as the brand’s Five Strikes logo on heel and tongue. A regal purple coats the inner to round off the eclectic colour scheme of this lively Terra Humara.
Created by innovative designer and out-of-the-box thinker Peter Fogg in 1997, the Air Humara was originally made as a technically proficient trail running shoe for use in difficult terrain and harsh weather. Today, it is experiencing a stunning renaissance as a sporty lifestyle model with a strong aesthetic that delivers high levels of comfort whatever the conditions.
