It looks like Nike is giving the Roshe another...run (cues joke drums).
No, but seriously. According to Sole Retriever, the Roshe is set to make a comeback this year with its traditional knit upper and foam sole.
Whether you loved or loathed them, the Nike Roshe Run changed the sneaker game. When the shoes dropped in the 2010s, it was an instant hit. It offered a straightforward design, $80 price tag, and was quite accessible, inviting nearly any and everyone to partake in a pair (and they did).
I still remember my first pairs: a camouflage take in cool grey with a bright pink insole, shoes that I tripped in several times throughout the day (a universal experience that many Roshe owners went through, apparently).
Still, I loved my Roshes.
This wouldn't be Nike's first attempt to revive the Roshe, though. The sportswear giant also tried it with the Roshe One followed by the Roshe Two a couple of years back. And as you can probably tell, they weren't very successful (there's still some Ones on Nike's website as we speak).
Perhaps, a third time will be the charm.
The Roshe joins a growing list of Nike revivals like the Mac Attack, Air Moc, and Air Ship, to name a few. Like the others, the Roshe is expected to have a big return, arriving in several colorways during the Fall 2023 season. Let's hope Nike doesn't overdo it again, as an overload of Roshes is what killed the shoe's hyped era before.
Nonetheless, sneakerheads seem to be relatively excited about Roshe's return — I mean, it's a classic! Though, folks hope Nike tweaked the material as the original design was rather flimsy (I remember my tongue always falling to the side, too).
Plus, the whole random stumbling on air thing.
