Born in 1986, the Sock Racer was seen as out of this world by many. No laces, just a sock-like upper that kept your foot in place thanks to a lightweight buckle system. The design would pave the way for several staple styles in the world of running, and now returns in a modern fashion fit for everyday wear. A full Flyknit upper and a lightweight Ultra sole modernize the icon, all outfitted in a vibrant yellow finish inspired by the originator. The Air Sock Racer, with its stretchy upper and lace-free design, bucked the running-shoe trends of its time and created a brand new one. Now the 1986 oddball runner returns, modernized with a full Flyknit upper and lightweight Ultra sole. Zoom Air cushioning in the heel keeps the ride comfortable, while flexible grooves in the sole keep it natural.
