When the original Nike Roshe One released in 2012, it introduced the world to this zen philosophy in footwear design. Exuding calm comfort with a simple mesh and phylon construction, the Nike Roshe One provided support sans filler. Now, nearly five years later, the time has come to build on the success of the original.
