Nike introduces the new Air Zoom Toki Lux, their version of a Chukka sneaker. It comes next week in three colorways.
“Retaining distinct characteristics of the Lux series – a basic, wearable color palette built with premium materials – the Zoom Toki Lux was inspired by the Nike Zoom Sabaku and the Nike Blazer. Nike designers chose a supple perforated upper with a tonal Swoosh elegantly and subtly blended in to the layout. The signature features of the Lux series are applied to the Nike Zoom Toki with a vividly accented Sail Blue midsole, the woven “Lux” label on the heel, and a single eyelet stamped with a Lux callout. Subtle sophistication.
The Nike Zoom Toki Lux is offered in two colors – Black and Gum Medium Brown. The third colorway, Blur, will only be available at Nike Sportswear at 21 Mercer Street in New York City.”
