Going way back to 1988, before the Flyknit racer was even conceptualised, there was the Nike Air Mariah. Three decades later, the shoe is still a crowd favourite when it comes to it’s versatility, comfort and wearability.

The changes to the shoe since then, involved removal of some key features. Nike explained that the features and construction methods weren’t adding anything to the shoe. The new approach uses a sustainable production process with Flyknit material on the upper, to ensure absolutely no wastage, finished with Brio cables and an active Air Zoom cushion.

All these elements combined together is a victory for Nike as it’s what they take pride in when it’s comes to innovation for the brand and for the industry.

The Nike Air Mariah Flyknit Racer is a great staple shoe, whether you’re running errands all day, going to the gym or just plain kicking it, this shoe can keep up with all of that as it’s designed to thrive in every environment.

Try the Nike Air Zoom Mariah Flyknit Racer for yourself, as they are available now in OG White/Hyper Crimson, Black/White, String/Solar Red and icey Pure Platinum for $219.95 at Sole Finess.
