Introducing the Nike Killshot 2
The Nike Killshot 2 revives a classic 1979 tennis shoe, originally crafted for racquetball and squash. Its clean, minimalist design, featuring a low-profile silhouette, breathable mesh upper, and suede accents, made it a favourite among athletes seeking both style and performance.
In 2009, Nike teamed up with J.Crew to bring back the Killshot 2, updating its materials to leather and suede and refining its design to appeal to a wider, fashion-savvy audience. This collaboration reignited interest in the sneaker, earning it widespread acclaim. The Killshot 2 is especially known for its ultra-low 16.9 mm heel stack, delivering a flat, responsive feel that improves stability and control.
