Nike Reintroduces The Air Superfly As A Low-Profile, Running-Inspired Sportswear Shoe For Women
22 January 2025
25 years ago Nike introduced us to the Air Superfly, fast-forward to now and a new running-inspired design is being launched, serving women athletes and sneaker fans with a refined early-aughts look modernised to advance today’s sport style.
Nike athlete Sha’Carri Richardson teased these back in November, unveiled during last month’s SNKRS Showcase, and worn by global trendsetters, the restyled Air Superfly promises a streamlined, low-profile design that hugs the foot for all-day comfort.
A unique reverse seam construction provides a smoother fit and removes the need for a sock liner traditional to sportswear silhouettes, resulting in a deconstructed, minimal feel. Perforated medial and lateral quarter panels stay true to the initial Superfly design, promoting breathability and lightweight performance, and distinctive green dots on the original outsole mimic 2000s-era track spike placement.
A hidden Nike Air unit and Cushlon foam midsole deliver comfort, and a leather and synthetic suede upper offers a premium look and feel accentuated by the metallic silver launch colorway shared with the Air Max Muse, another new Nike Air style for women.
The Nike Air Superfly will be available January 28th at select Nike retail partners and February 7th globally on SNKRS.
