Now that the dust has settled on the Mac Attack " OG ", Nike charges ahead with its second official colourway. Simply called the Nike Attack, this release is part of the ensemble of vintage sports models that have taken the footwear industry by storm over the past few years. Limited to a US release, the debut pair had everyone across the pond feeling left out, but luckily this Nike Attack QS SP “Red Crush” will be hitting the UK, preventing you from experiencing sneakerhead-FOMO yet again.
This colourway was part of the original set that was available almost 40 years ago, a familiar palette that has seen the likes of other ‘80s sporting classics such as the Nike Bruin and Dunk High . Just like on the “OG” iteration, the upper is formed from a mixture of mesh and leather, with five perforations on the sidewall for added breathability. The terry cloth lining also stays true to the shoe’s performance roots, as is the case with the double-layered heel panel which was designed to increase stability. A set of flat white laces come threaded on to the upper, matching the clean white tooling that forgoes any need for aged detailing. As the name suggests, no Air unit exists within the EVA midsole below, meaning these are about as comfy as your standard pair of Dunks . On the foam tongue, a chequered finish rounds off the branding for this retro’d cult classic.
