The name sets the brief and the shoe follows it. Black leather covers the entire upper, including the Swoosh and the branding, so there is nothing on the outside of the shoe to argue with a dark jacket. Summit White is held back for the midsole, drawing a single bright line at the base.
Black on black is more demanding than it looks. With no contrast color the stitching between the toe, quarter panel, eyestay and heel counter has to carry the shape, and the Mid cut helps by removing the tall ankle flap of the High and leaving a cleaner profile. Underneath is the usual Mid tooling, an Air unit in the heel and a rubber outsole. It came out on February 13, 2014 at $110, in adult sizing.
