The Sertu is part of the Swooshes’ 10th collection paying tribute to Nike founding father Bill Bowerman. Serving as a major in the Army’s 10th Mountain Division during World War II, Bowerman and his men scaled snowy mountains in Italy fighting for the Allied cause.
This new Nike React model features an array of textures and materials on the upper that include a woven construction, suede and leather overlays, and even basketball textured leather panels on the mudguards. This colorway starts off with a Black woven nylon panel with suede and leather overlays highlighted with Volt contrasting accents. A small tab on the upper is embroidered with “The 10th,” immortalizing Bowerman’s heroics. Lastly, a White React sole with Black accents round out the main features of the shoe.
