This version gives up the fade that defines the line for a plain ground, where only two touches of colour come through. The result wears far more easily than the multicoloured versions. The red turns up again on the rear sole edge.

The upper stays structured and softens as you wear it, with the mesh giving slightly at the sides. Black mesh hides dust well and cleans with a barely damp sponge. The red also lines the collar. You see it the moment you look down. A plain ground makes this version far easier to wear than the fades of the line. Nike says this model runs small: take half a size up from your usual.
