If something is dubbed “washed” the connotation associated with it is often negative. According to Urban Dictionary, “washed” is a term used to describe a general feeling of exhaust, tiredness and lack of motivation. In contrast, the ‘Washed Black’ is a largely understated color scheme with compelling suede material adjustments, and a good kind of washed: fresh, clean and crisp. Suede takes on this iconic silhouette is not a new phenomenon, With models like the ‘Stage Haze’ and ‘Light Smoke Grey’ serving up suede stylings in the past, but they are rare enough to give Sneakerheads a bit of Nike SB flair to the beloved model.
