The Nike Huarache line can be called one of the most prominent in the history of company - it's one of the shoes that dictates today's street-style culture. This time, we invite you to get acquainted with their birth and history - here the most important role was played again by the legendary designer Tinker Hatfield.

Nike Huarache shoes were born for running, but very quickly became a favorite of leisure-style fans. Their name was borrowed from Mexican sandals, and inspiration for the design came from Tinker Hatfield water skiing hobby- he was wearing neoprene-made shoes that adapts to his foot. Hatfield returned to his studio immediately, drawing up scetches for his shoes.

"One of the biggest problems with the shoes that we encountered is that they do not fit in different shapes of feet. Neoprene would be able to do this," - said Tinker Hatfield.

Despite the new and innovative idea, Nike was doubt about the release of Huarache shoes. One of the product managers, Tom Hartge, who thought Hatfield's shoes were great, signed permission for 5000 pairs of Huarache production without permission did not wanted to agree with company's position. The manager brought them all to the New York Marathon and sold them to an exhibition hall just outside Times Square. Within three days, all the pairs were bought and the news of the boots spread very quickly - it has become a great proof to the company that the shoes must be officially released. At that time, a real explosion occurred and were ordered about half a million pairs of Huarache's that month

The debatable running shoes in 1991 quickly became popular even in basketball, training, and tennis. The sports icon contributed to the rapid development of Huarache - in the 1992 Wimbledon tournament Andreas Agassi won exactly with the Hatfield boots.

Many different versions of Huarache shoes today are loved not only by young people but also by children and adults who enjoy their comfort.

So, "have your foot been hugged today?"
