What do you get when you mix classic sneakers with summer sandals? Nike's Air Huarache Sneakers "changed the face of running footwear forever" when they launched back in 1991, but the 2017 version is totally unrecognisable. As Footwear News reports, the brand has reimagined the sneakers as hybrid sandals, and we're definitely intrigued.

Shoe brands are no strangers to hybrids: We've seen "hootie" shoes, "sneakerdrilles," and other inventive twists, so there's no telling what labels will think of next. If you're interested in Nike's newest design, mark your calendars for the August 3 release date.
