Earlier this year, January 2 to be exact, Matt Powell talked about the Nike Kaishi and how it would be Nike's knockoff of its own Roshe Run. At the time, we didn't have any clue what the sneaker looked like. But images have now surfaced of the Kaishi, and it looks very similar to the Roshe but with more of a Trainer-esque look.

So the question we have to ask: Is the Kaishi going to be as big as the Roshe Run? Since the Roshe's debut in 2012, the market has seen an increase in lightweight running sneakers. And it feels like every brand has hopped on the trend. The price of the Kaishi is unknown, but it looks to make a Fall 2014 appearance.
