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.

This Nike Air Terra Humara x Undefeated sneaker features a sleek black aesthetic and is highlighted with a collection of unique branding effects that honour the collaborative efforts of both brands. Flecks of Coconut Milk have been scattered across the rugged outsole, while further splashes of this velvety off-white tone appear on the upper’s swoosh logos. Textured rubber panelling based on a motorcycle tyre protects against abrasions while also providing a captivating aesthetic. Undefeated then establishes a strong presence on the design via Coconut Milk Five Strikes logos, a bright blue tag with UNDFTD text and the brand’s famous Play Dirty logo. All of this comes alongside various premium materials ranging from smooth nubuck to luxurious suede, which make this bold Terra Humara a highly desirable shoe.
