How to Style It

The black, gray and white colorway is built to style easily: straight-leg jeans, cargo pants or shorts all sit well over the silhouette.

The running heritage of the Nike Initiator means athletic pieces - track jackets, mesh shorts - look intentional rather than costume-like.

One quiet advantage of the black, gray and white palette: scuffs and dirt stay invisible far longer than on white-only releases.

Comfort & Fit

Breaking in the Nike Initiator takes very little time; most people wear them out of the box for a full day without discomfort.

Flex grooves in the outsole let the Nike Initiator bend naturally at the toes, so your stride never feels fought by the shoe.

Breathability on the Nike Initiator is solid for a sneaker with this much overlay work; thin socks are comfortable even in summer.
