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.

Nike has not stopped making Huaraches in fact they restocked the Stussy x Huaraches this year.

The circular By Huarache logo is embroidered on the outside of the tongue, while the inside is the easiest way to tell them apart: you only need to know the color code, as the counterfeit models never have the Nike product code on the label.

For me, the Nike Air Huarache fits half a size up. With a narrow-than-usual profile, if you were to go true to size these would be too small. A full size up and the neoprene upper will be much too loose, resulting in a weird dented look that we really don't love to see.
