The soccer-to-lifestyle pipeline is a bustling group across the sneaker industry, with brands subconsciously or unabashedly following the success of the adidas Samba in taking over city streets everywhere. To their credit, Nike hasn’t simply thrown out a single flyer — they’ve fully embraced the concept by reviving genuinely beloved silhouettes like the Total 90 III SP and the Gato for daily use.
Similarly, they’ve paid special attention to bringing back those shoes in colors that fans of the original boot should easily recognize, once again the case with the “Brazil” coloring at hand. To be clear, this isn’t the exact look that soccer die-hards could’ve caught back in 2010, but a more subtle application of national yellow and green, planted atop a black leather base and ever-reliable gum sole.
The Nike Gato “Brazil” is available now via Nike.com, retailing for $110 in men’s sizing. Hit the “Where To Buy” links included below to pick up yours.
