Nike’s Giraffe Superfly LX Isn’t as Docile as It Looks

Nike's animal offerings can't be caged in. This has been realized through leopard uppers, zebra paneling, and now a spotted giraffe has entered the chat, expanding upon the patterned zoo that is Nike's Superfly LX sneakers.

This premium version of the Superfly brings textured Serengeti swag to the running-inspired lifestyle sneaker.

The sleek shape and patterned outsole pull inspo from Nike's track heritage, and this sporty charm is only elevated through the pony hair upper.

Raw-edge collar construction adds some dimension to the sneaker that sits on top of a cacao base that rounds out the sneaker's chocolatey essence.

Available on the Nike website for $125, the Superfly LX also comes in luxe leopard print, a black panther iteration, and a bone-white colorway. Nike's Superfly LX welcomes animals of all creeds and colors.

Now, giraffes aren't particularly high up on the sneaker design food chain, but Nike has taken quite a liking to those polygonal patches.

The proof lies in textured gems like the Air Max 95, the Air Force 1, and the woven Footscape sneaker. As far as niche animal pulls are concerned, giraffes are best in show.

You can't really cuddle a giraffe per se, but these shoes more or less gives the same vibe.
