Could this be Nike's next big lifestyle sneaker?

Previewed by Sneakers Addict as part of Foot Locker EU's #hottestmonth campaign is the Nike Marxman, a brand new high top that's more high fashion than it is high performance. In fact, if it weren't for the Nike branding on the tongue and heel, it would probably be hard to peg these as a Swoosh product. 

Based on what we can see from these early shots, the Marxman is a true high top with what appears to be a laceless upper and two Velcro closures. It's showcased in three make ups: white, wheat, and royal blue, with translucent hits appearing at the rear of each outsole. 

Information on these is scarce, but it's pretty clear the Marxman is better suited for stunting in the streets than it is, say, getting buckets on the hardwood. Stay tuned as more details are made available.
