For a while they sat on shelves and Nike eventually halted production on the model and shifted budget elsewhere. The silhouette had actually garnered a new and slightly-bad reputation according to many, with the legendary status tarnished by how mainstream they had become.

If you want a shoe that is both comfortable and functional, the Nike Huarache is a great option. The shoe's releases have niched out throughout the years while the main brand has remained the same — a shoe based on an ancient design that always continues to bring comfort and support to the modern-day wearer.

The Air Huarache has become a mainstay, with releases hitting many other categories, including training, tennis, aerobics, lacrosse, American football and baseball.

Huaraches are a tight fit because of the strap at the back, more so than the length of the shoe. If you measured the length it would probably be the right size it says, but the plastic strap at the back doesn't really stretch that much and that's why they run smaller.
