The Nike designer behind Kanye West's Air Yeezy II, Nathan VanHook, is back with another textured sneaker that we expect will be well-received by sneakerheads. As a follow-up effort to his Lunar Orbit runner from 2011, the Nike Free Orbit II SP sports the same high-end aesthetic that we all loved about the Yeezy IIs.

These slip-on Orbit IIs are covered in a black textured upper of mini spikes and sit atop a speckled Nike Free 5.0 midsole. A subtle hint of nylon on the toe box provides a clean and complementary look to this sneaker's aggressive design.

A release for the Nike Free Orbit II SP has not yet been established, but I think what everyone really wants to know is, will there be an all-red colorway available?
