Nike Japan

Staying on the Japan theme this morning. I almost forgot to post these Nike Terminators that my good friend picked up for me while on her trip to Japan.

Nike Japan released a new Rivals Pack of two Terminator High Premium TZ sneakers, the TZ in the name is presumably for Tier Zero, but these shoes were sold in their respective cities.  The premium, tumbled leather appears on the toe and heel panels, while smooth leather appears elsewhere. The tongue appears to be nylon, while the heel panel appears to be made of mesh. On the heel of the right sneaker, just above a few spots of green seen through tiny perforations, the letters CTST appear, representative of “Cat Street”–a popular shopping district. On the left are the letters “HRJK” which refer to Harajyuku .The real standout part of the model is the use of neon green piping, and a glow-in-the-dark sole a la Yeezy.  These of course did not make it stateside and where available only in Harajuku, Japan. Thanks Cheryl!!!
