Nike's Footscape Woven Chukka has long had a cult following among the cozy set, and the brand may have found a way to make the model even more comfortable.

Enter Flyknit, which has been applied across the top of the Footscape Woven Chukka's upper in place of the model's usual leather, suede, or most recently, wool, build. This material switch also necessities the need for a revamped lacing system, opting for an adjustable toggle system rather than the sneaker's usual asymmetrical laces.

Expect the Nike Footscape Woven Chukka Flyknit to debut this summer in black and "Golden Beige" colorways, both of which can be previewed below.
