The “Winter Yeti” Lives On With The Nike Roshe Run

[JimPiscitelli]

The ever-present nike roshe run is getting ready for the colder months ahead with a playful “Winter Yeti” take on Dylan Raasch’s 2012 classic. We’ve seen plenty of different textiles land on the Roshe Run over the past three years and here a sweater-like fleece and suede occupies the upper with a festive snowflake graphic pattern on three color options: blue, red, and black. The real catch here is the outline of the mythical (or maybe not) Yetti, as an all white fur ball only sees the eyes staring back at us on the heel.

Another day, another dope Nike Roshe Run. This time we see the lightweight nike roshe run flyknit delivered in a black and Total Orange weave, with a classy burgundy Swoosh sitting pretty on top – all of that goodness is slammed on a Sunset Glow outsole. It’s a tidy, bright AF sneak piece that’s prepped.

The Yeezy Boost 350 silhouette has been blasted for being “inspired” by Nike’s uber-popular Roshe Run, and rightfully so. With its similar knitted sock-like upper and Boost/Phylon sole, the shoe does bear some uncanny similarities. But one fan took it upon himself to create a custom sneaker — fusing the two camps together. The result is a nike roshe run custom matched with the Yeezy Boost 350′s recognizable printed mesh upper.



The Nike Roshe Run is back this fall with a brand new Jacquard construction. That woven material has served as an eclectic graphic-laden patterned base in the past for multitudes of Nike’s most classic silhouettes. here on the Roshe though, the tooling shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise given Dylan Raasch’s classic creation has seen an infinite amount of reworkings over the past three years. The nike roshe run print JCRD does utilize a bolstered Tape construction along the laces for added support while an array or zig-zagging lines add a flare for the dramatic in either teal, tan, or royal blue.
