As Nike braces for Summer, many of their flagship styles are undergoing some brighter, season-appropriate changes. In the case of this retro Daybreak, the silhouette is celebrating the heat with a sunny, paisley-accented colorway.
The allusions to the sun are evident even at the most cursory of glances. At the suede overlays, the pair brightens up with orange panels, a shade matched by the tongue. The signature waffle sole and heel tab, in contrast, prefer a slightly brighter orange, one more akin to the Swoosh whose paisley markings are rather subtle relative to past editions. Sky blue touches then finish along the woven label and the heel tab’s embroidered Swoosh, while white rounds off the scheme along the mesh base, laces, and lining.
