Nike's Killshot 2, the sportswear brand's most normal sneaker, continues to get fitted up in luxe leather looks, resulting in some of the most stylish editions of the classic model (yeah, I said it). And Nike's latest "Sail" iteration advances the Killshot's crisp leather supremacy.
It's another good day for Killshot fans and on-screen boyfriends obsessed with the super casual Nike sneaker.
Nike has just prepared a new version of its leather Killshot shoe in a solid "Sail/Ashen Slate" colorway, rendering the low-key sneaker high-key stylish.
Here, Nike applied textured leather uppers to the slim, tennis-inspired sequel, a calm update from the usual suede and canvas makes.
The Killshot 2 sneaker is then topped with satisfying off-white shades and grey-ish blue accents, as well as some smoother textures elsewhere.
And that's about it. Plain, simple, done. A neutral classic done
As we speak, the Nike Killshot 2 "Sail" is now available on the sportswear brand's website for a reasonable $100, where it sits next to a few other recent leather gems like those wonderfully elderly "Baroque Brown" pairs.
Last year, Nike also blessed the streets with killer black and white "Phantom"-ish Killshot sneakers, which looked so good that they may as well have been a Travis Scott collaboration (I mean, what the heck...close enough!).
As such, the Nike Killshot 2's low-profile look, retro appeal, and overall approachable design makes it a good kind of basic sneaker.
You could certainly argue that the Killshot 2 is a pretty solid "Samba" alternative for Swoosh devotees, too, especially with the menswear-ish shoe's recent streetwear adoption.
And its recent leather upgrades just makes a classic sneaker that much better.
