Nike creates snakeskin shoes

25/04/2013
Nike has launched a limited edition collection of leather golf shoes, designed for Eric Koston, as well as one-off pair made with an embossed snakeskin outer and liner for the professional skateboarder.

Describing Mr Koston as a “golf fanatic”, the world’s biggest sportswear company said the footwear, the Nike Koston 2 IT, features an upper in sleek black leather and incorporates traction technology with a swingtip outsole. The lightweight shoe maps out foot pressure via inserts and adjusts the flexible spikes accordingly to provide traction, relieving the wearer from having to walk around on hard spikes.

Mr Koston’s custom golf shoes are made of waterproof snakeskin, dyed red and embossed with the company’s signature 'swoosh'.
