There’s no need for frills when you’re classic. The Nike Retro GTS is just that—a classically simple, always stylish canvas shoe. Nodding to the ’96 original that gave a generation of skaters their don’t-care attitude, the new design gets updated with a comfort insole, embroidered logos and metal eyelets. Featuring a canvas upper and tough rubber sole with heritage herringbone traction pattern, it lets you turn heads without trying.
Launching in the “Black” colorway, the pair sports a black recycled canvas upper and a signature vulcanized rubber sole unit. Profile Swoosh outlines and the logo on the tongue are in a clean white for a sleek aesthetic. The leather-like heel tab adds a premium touch to the rather simple design. A modern sockliner, fused midsole, and a cushioned insole are updates to the model that elevate the comfort and durability factor of the ’90s proposition.
