The Nike Air Safari is one of those shoes that never seems to go away, its presence on retail shelves feeling permanent recently between the retros and the many other designs out there that source its namesake pattern.

It's promising to stick around via these new versions, dubbed the Royal Nike Air Safaris. The shoes leave out the traditional liner, have extra padding around the heel, and use a tan foxing wrapping the perimeter.

This look was debuted on the recent NikeLab Air Max 1 Royal. If the $250 price tag on those is any indication, these won't be cheap when they hit retail.
