It actually hasn’t been that long since the ‘Magenta’ re-released. Nike launched a salvo of revised Air Huaraches in , focusing on OG colourways that hadn’t yet retroed since their 1991-92 launch – the ‘Magenta’ being among them. This last batch of Huarache retros was a marked improvement upon mid-2010s releases but, as it’s been detailed in depth , the 2021 revival is even better.

Which results in a sharper and sleeker profile on foot as compared to the angular (some would say blocky) look of previous releases. Pragmatic modifications including a raised ankle strap to float further away from the Achilles tendon should also help improve an already immensely comfortable design.
