This week's vintage print ad is for an obscure Huarache runner: the Air Huarache International.

In an ad for the Nike running shoe fans out there, this week we'll take a look at the Nike Air Huarache International.  Releasing in 1992, the Huarache International, seen here in the White/Black-Green Chile colorway, is a fairly obscure runner and an early model from Nike's Huarache line.  Most of us know and love the original Air Huarache and the Huarache Light, but the International is an underdog of the early Huaraches.  It's possibly less popular because the design is quite simple with minimal branding - only a Nike Air logo on the heel and the Huarache logo on the toungue.  It's more function than flash, yet still a shoe many Nike running enthusiasts would love to have(or do have, if they're lucky) in their collections.
