June is almost over, and the 4th of July is right around the corner. Nothing’s more American than red, white, and blue—or cold hard cash—and Nike knows this.

The red pair features an all-red leather and mesh upper, with black accents arriving on the laces, collar, heel tab, and the shroud’s branding. The blue pair features the same tonal leather and mesh look on the upper, but swaps the black accents for white laces and a tonal navy collar/heel tab, while the lace shroud’s branding arrives in white and red.
