[sneakernews]

FromFreshness

Earlier this morning in New York, Nike introduced the next evolution in their goal to lessen their environmental impact. This new evolution is NikeConsidered Design, which will combine sustainability principles with the newest innovations for sport. For Spring 2009 Nike Considered Design will be featuredin all six of Nike key categories including ACG, tennis, running, soccer, women's training, men's training, sportswear and basketball. The Huarache basketball line will be a Nike Considered Design product in its 2009 version, the Nike Huarache09. The sneaker uses Environmentally Preferred Materials (EPMs), with a high recycled content, wherever possible. The stitching details and embroidery createstructural support, eliminating the need for excessive overlays, embellishments and backing materials. A smarter pattern design allowed for a cuttingefficiency of 70 percent on the upper, substantially reducing waste. Look for the Nike Huarache 09 in stores soon.

Design sure looks recycled to me. Perhaps Nike are just doing this so they can claim to care about the environment.

i actually like the newer huarache designs.

 

[onlyfootball]

Nike didn't even bother designing a new midsole/outsole for these...to me, they're just the Huarache 08 v2

 

[kghinrich12]

Not a fan of using the same midsole from year to year, but overall i really like this shoe.

 

[mateen cleaves]

like them better than last years.

 

[greencelt06]

uhhh...no. word to Ed.

 

[MisterGrub]

I like them, but would not pay retail price for these.

Forget the H09's, what about the Jordan rain boots in the background?

 

[ezpinoy]

iono if i like these.. they kidna looks crap *$+

 

[duke4005]

The best thing about these is the old school Nike block lettering on the ankle. Really connects to the past. And for the post calling it a Huarache '08 xBB1 mix, that can't be bad. Those are 2 of the best b-ball shoes Nike has put out in years.

Did Alphaproject design these? I know he did the 2k8? If so Props
