Nike's Super Slim Retro Sneaker Wants Its Moment
Nike's classic Air Superfly sneaker officially returned in January, twenty-five years after its debut. And already, the sleek running-inspired model is dressing the part of the next cool retro shoe.
Alongside a metallic silver colorway, the Nike Air Superfly will also arrive in a super bold "Mystic Red" scheme, which looks like the shoe took a dip in red paint or even Kool-Aid. (Can I get a "ohhhh yeahhh?")
Underneath the vibrant paint job, the Air Superfly's traditional details shine again. The breezy uppers and cushion soles filled with Nike Air and foam are in view, recalling its history on the racing tracks. It makes sense why Nike enlisted track star Sha'Carri Richardson to tease the shoes in November.
Honestly, Nike couldn't have picked a better time to revive the Air Superfly. It's slim, low-profile, and undeniably retro, all the ingredients to today's hottest shoes. If the Superfly were flat, it'd be a winner-winner chicken dinner.
But thin soles or not, the Air Superfly's got next.
Nike's Air Max Muse, the brand's new insanely chunky Air Max model, will also drop in a tonal red colorway. The red Air Max Muse and Air Superfly are both slated to release on February 8 on Nike's SNKRS app.
Valentine's Day mood? Or is Nike trying to tell us something? Something like...two of its latest women's sneakers are coming in (red) hot for the sneaker crown.
