In recent years, the Nike Daybreak has seen itself rendered into bolder silhouettes such as the DBreak-Type SE. Nevertheless, Nike fans globally—especially women—have continued to gravitate towards the original model, which has been offered in new color arrangements that take the 1979 marathon-ready runner onto the streets. Adding to the lineup is a two-toned affair mimicking the UNC heritage of navy blue and armory blue.

Staying true to the archive design, nylon uppers and a rubber waffle outsole are seen throughout. The sky blue base is balanced by suede overlays that are tinted in a much darker obsidian blue shade. Clean hits of white are present on the heel tab, tongue label, and midsole to disrupt the mix of blues. The colors come together to craft a cool-toned offering appropriate for the winter season.
