Same man. I remember when I bought these, I was a broke college student. Store near me had them and I said eff it and bought them. Had $25 left after. No regrets lol. I just hope when they retro them, they get the toe right. 2015 release had a huge toebox

I made a post about this quite some time ago in this thread, but not THAT long ago:

The Lights are a perfect example of how, more than any other line in Nike history, the Huarache has been evolved into almost everything Nike does today. It just doesn't get the credit, because marketing decided somewhere along the way that the name didn't mean anything to most people and even worse, was difficult for people to figure out how to pronounce (my theory, anyway, as to the why). Look at the Lights: What makes it a Huarache? A one-piece dynamic upper, regardless of whether or not there are layers of other material on top of it, which the original Huarache design language tried to strip away as much as possible with cutouts in the overlays to expose the neoprene "sock" behind it. But that sock-like design ethos is seen now on literally countless Nikes, from signature knit bball shoes to lifestyle shoes to running shoes to everything in between. The freaking Huarache is actually the core of Nike's lineup, and no one even realizes or talks about it. And the idea is used by all the other companies, as well. Along with Air, the Huarache concept from Tinker has had by FAR the longest legs of anything in the sneaker industry.
EDIT: The Presto is another example. Like that shoe is not a Huarache lol

lights are nice, but I would actually prefer huarache light bursts...specifically AD21

 

[frankwh1te]

AD21 are my forever grail but being a sz13 I’ve never had a chance regardless of how much $$$ I’d be willing to pay.

at this point a retro is my only hope.

In 14/15’ when they retrod the lites I copped 4 pairs of the ultramarines for under 60$ All time great colorway imo

I remember your initial post. You aint never lied. I remember when the Ultra Boost first came out I thought to myself, “This is just a knit Presto.” That whole sock upper motif is forever.

even if you did find a size 13 it's not likely wearable

I believe they do I was looking at them the other day but didn’t have my size

 

[frankwh1te]

They only made up to sz12 and it was nearly impossible to even find that size around the release date let alone any time afterwards

those desert oaks are tempting to get on the resell

Speaking of Huarache Light Bursts

Wore this 2004 pair the other day. I’d pick up some retros if they came out.

 

[modus47]

I also like Light Bursts better than the regular Lights. They should have a new retro but then we get the small bubbles.

They also have thread

Nike Huarache Light Thread 2015/2016

I could not find a thread dedicated to the Huarache Light, so I decided to create this one. I was glad to see these retroed last year and am pleased to see more cws lined up for 2015. Would be nice to see the Burst make an appearance this year. There's been some good releases so far, here's a...

I agree too, I think we talked about it earlier in the thread. I feel like Huarache would have been bigger than the Air Max line right now because that whole sock-like shoe is the zeitgeist for every company and has been for years. Even down to the shoes at Walmart.

But I think I know why they went away. Most of Nikes shoes got bulkier after the mid 90s. By bulkier, I mean size not weight. The basketball line got bulkier with the air max shoes and even the lighter shoes were bulky but still light. (they even stopped making the LWP line)

Running shoes got bulkier. (Air Max 95 and on)
Cross trainers definitely go bulkier.

I don't think they started slimming down and simplifying again for a few years, that could be why they abandoned the Huarache.

Is that the Punch colorway? I received my 2 Scream greens from Sneaker Politics, went true to size and I’m happy with the fit. They are very soft and have a great over all build and shape. I never half size up and wear a 10.5 so I questioned these. The only shoe that I should have went a half size up was Lebron 9 and even those just fit on the tight side. My problem is width when it comes to size and these I have no issue.

No.
