An interesting project is coming from Nike and Swagger. Together they worked on the Nike Terminator Hi Supreme. Not only are the colors and the materials interesting, Swagger also seems to have played with the tongue, which is different than on the regular Terminator Hi – it’s much longer. The sneakers come in a patent croc like material in turquoise and brown with tonal matching soles and laces.. Also they seem to come with a very large SWG lace lock that covers most of the laces. We are also not sure if this is going to be the official packaging of the shoe, if so, they come in a chocolate box with custom Swagger chocolate. So far we do not know when these release, but we will definitely keep you posted.
