The Nike Dual Racer is said to be a revamped version of the Nike Duellist, a racing sneaker that made its debut back in 1988. This new version comes with a sock-like upper constructed out of a mesh material. In addition to the mesh, synthetic overlays and the TPU heel counter provide added stability and durability. The contrast made by the color blocking is also said to mimic the design of the original Duellist. This version comes in Dark Grey accented by the White hits on the branding.
