Nike Air Terra Humara x Undefeated

Los Angeles streetwear brand Undefeated has worked on some of Nike’s most iconic silhouettes since their first collaboration in the early 2000s. In 2023, this long-term partnership turned its attention to Nike’s late 90s trail running shoe, the Air Terra Humara. This vintage silhouette was carefully chosen by Undefeated as a nod to the brand’s beginnings as a sneaker boutique. At that time, its founders, Eddie Cruz and James Bond, were focused on giving Undefeated a strong identity. To do so, they stocked a carefully curated selection of shoes which included models that wouldn’t normally be seen in a sneaker store. One of these was the Terra Humara, which went from being a model made for outdoor activities to a beloved lifestyle sneaker. The Undefeated x Nike collaborative colourways paid homage to this by emulating some of the features and materials used on the Terra Humaras that could be found in the brand’s original Los Angeles store.

Rounded panelling and high-quality materials make for a captivating look on this Nike Air Terra Humara x Undefeated sneaker. Summit White adds pleasantly light effects to many of the overlays, including the tyre-inspired ones on the toe and heel whose rubber construction brings added protection to these areas. Neutral shades of grey can be seen forming the base layer of the upper, with a dark Smoke Grey tone filling in the tumbled leather swooshes. Meanwhile, Archaeo Brown panels bring a charming richness over the top of the foot. Undefeated branding appears throughout the design, with elements such as UNDFTD lettering, the Play Dirty slogan and the brand’s Five Strikes logo, many of which stand out in a vibrant shade of blue. Underfoot, the various colours of the upper combine to produce a series of memorable contrasts on the generously speckled sole unit in an eye-catching finish to this stylish sneaker.
