Nike Killshot 2 Leather Premium Tiempo Pack - Metallic Cool Grey

Part of the Killshot line. This release has a leather upper in Metallic Cool Grey/Black/Gum Dark Brown. The Killshot began life as a court shoe and survived as a wardrobe staple, which is a very Nike kind of second act. The brand's own beginnings were similarly sideways: Blue Ribbon Sports sold about 1,300 pairs of Japanese running shoes for roughly 8,000 dollars in its first year, opened a first store in Santa Monica in 1966, and only launched its own line under the Nike name after the Onitsuka Tiger relationship ended in 1972. This Killshot 2 sits in the Leather Premium tier of the Tiempo Pack, and Metallic Cool Grey is the colourway that gives an old tennis outline a cold, low shine instead of the usual bone and gum warmth. It is the plainest silhouette in the range, which is exactly why it keeps returning.
