After breaking the news of a Flyknit-equipped Nike Air Presto last month, we're now getting our first official look at the sneakers courtesy of Nikeblog.

Officially known as the Air Presto Flyknit Ultra, this model reimagines the sock-like Air Presto silhouette with a new Flyknit-based construction. Gone is the stretch mesh build of the original Presto, which has been replaced with an even more breathable knit.

Aside from the material, this new design also has a higher, chukka-esque ankle cut, while Nikeblog mentions that the midsole has been stripped of its original components for a more lightweight feel, hence the "Ultra" tag.

Previewed today are five colorways of this upcoming model, including the dope triple-white version above and a look that is reminiscent of the O.G. "Brutal Honey" Presto. Unfortunately, there's still no word on a release date, but we have an inkling that these will be available sometime early next year.
