Nike Isn't Even Trying to Hide the 'Red October' Inspiration Here

An obvious nod to the Yeezy 2.

It's no secret that Nike Sportswear has been going all out with the "Red October" aesthetic ever since the Nike Air Yeezy 2 of the same name released.

Some of the shoes released have just been all-red colorways that maybe unjustly earned the nickname, while others have very transparently employed the same material set in their design. This pair of the Nike NSW Tiempo 94 falls in the latter group. The shoe has the suede, it has the mesh sections, it even has a texture around its heel similar to what's found on the "Red October."

The Nike NSW Tiempo 94 DLX QS in this obvious homage of a colorway is releasing at Hanon on April 21.
