Offering some of the finest tweeds in the world, Harris Tweed fabrics are what you would normally see on a range of clothing and bags. On sneakers? Almost never. And if it was any brand that would look to something out of the ordinary, it probably would be Nike, seeing as how they’ve already played with all sorts of colorways for their shoes.

Out from the Nike camp is a Harris Tweed collab. What’s best is that women are not left out of it! With a color scheme perfect for Fall, the brand chose the Air Royal Mid and Wmns Air Royalty to work on and set a blueprint/blueprint black pine scheme for the lasses and a dark army/dark army loden scheme for the lads.  Apart from the toe box and soles, the warm fabric sets itself on pretty much everywhere else.

The Harris Tweed Air Royal Mid is set for an October drop. Be sure to check with your local Nike retailer for more information.
