At the core of Flyknit is environmental sustainability. Sneakers equipped with the knitted material only use the essentials, resulting in a product constructed of a one-piece upper free of multiple materials and cuts. It's this concept that makes the mashup with the Roshe Run model, a non-performance runner that also prides itself on simplicity, a perfect match.

The latest iteration of the knitted Roshe takes a completely different approach from past offerings. Nicknamed "Random Yarn," the sneaker was constructed of surplus yarn from the spools of other Flyknit models and actually threaded together randomly. To be exact, 12 different types of knitted patterns were used. The result is a completely one-of-a-kind design where no two shoes are exactly alike.

The limited-edition "Random Yarn" Flyknit Roshes will be available on Saturday, October 4, on Nike.com and via select Nike Sportswear stockists.
