6. Nike Hyperposite ‘Statue of Liberty’ – $225
As everyone knows, Lady Liberty’s iconic turquoise hue has become almost as well known as the Statue itself. Crystal mint is the official color used to match that color. Accents of metallic copper coin, mimicking the Statue’s torch, are featured all around the shoe in Nike branding as well as splotches on the Hyperfuse section of the upper. The metallic copper also represents the color the Statue originally was when it was gifted to the United States from France in 1886. Made from copper, the Statue of Liberty oxidized within the first 15 years of its existence and has been the color it is today ever since. Lucky for us, that color leads to one eye popping colorway on the Hyperposite. An icy midsole under the Air Max bubble and copper lace caps finishes off the release.
