Nike Air Hoop Structure Infrared Sample First Look
Jan 06, 2009 | Comments 34 |
Over the past couple of years, Nike has been experimenting with the hybrid footwear concept. What began with the "1Time Only" Pack, has become a large scale initiative that has produced Nike Hybrids in several footwear categories. For the first time, Nike is set to go across categories and create a hybrid performance basketball sneaker from a performance running sneaker. The Nike Air Hoop Structure is the Nike Air Structure Triax 91 optimized for performance Basketball with additional padding at the tongue, a higher cut, and a reworked outsole. A lot of the design characteristics from the Traix 91 remain intact.
The Infrared Nike Air Hoop Structure features the classic Triax 91 Infrared colorway with it's mix of Black, White, Blue and Infrared including the OG alternating color with Blue on one side of the sneaker and Infrared on the other. Part of the midsole/outsole retooling, the Infrared Nike Air Hoop Structure features an clear outsole piece like the recently released Air Flight Lite High.
Word has it that the Infrared Nike Air Hoop Structure pictured in this post may be scrapped, but, there is a White/Navy/Red colorway planned for July and a Black/Red colorway planned for September.

Wow!! Definite cop!
this is for the second commenter.
they are the same shoe. it's just one picture from one side of the shoe and another picture from the other side of the shoe. one side has blue and one side had infrared. the alternating colors are just like what the OG structure triax's had.
Those are freakin awesome
!!!!!!PLEASE NIKE!!!!! DONT SCRAP THESE OUT... PLEASE!!!!!!! I LIKE THESE ALOT AND I KNOW ALOT OF SNEAKERHEADS OUT THEIR WILL LOVE THESE TOO....THESE SHOES ARE GORGEOUS I'M FEELING HOW THE COLORS ON ONE SIDE OF THE SHOE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SHOE
Standard it is the same shoe. just different views. U know how the air max structure looks dont u?
They are hot! now nike has got something here!
These need a mesh toebox.
Great job nike!
good attempt but no. you would destroy them in one game. no carbon fiber plate etc. These should retail $90
these are probably the nicest shoes ever
Theeez are pure heat, im glad they got rid of the fabric toe box like the runner structures. They crease and fold like a failing economy. So thats good.
Theres not many hybrids that i recon are any good, maybe the huarache bw's, theeezll do it though.
why....???
so one side of the sneaker has green and the other side has red?...i dunno, but they are nice
looks like a chics high top
These would sell out as soon as they are released, easily a must have for sneakerheads.
yeah really great mix !
na cmon the low tops look way better. the high tops are ok but bring out the low tops it be a RAP!
Nike please don't scrap this colorway pleassseee i mean u guys did have the balls to drop all the other ugly shhiittt
I know I already left a comment but damn these might just might be the next 95's or af1`s if led by the right ppl
