Nike's Next Sporty, Retro-Style Sneaker Is Giving Déjà-Swoosh
Nike is releasing a new retro-style sneaker model called the Terra Manta for 2025, which is appropriate. 2025 is so close that email greetings are already reading "Happy New Year!" Nike is also thinking ahead (per usual), previewing all-new Swoosh sneakers for the upcoming year, which includes the Terra Manta.
Official images of Nike's Terra Manta shoe recently landed on a few dedicated sneaker leak pages, revealing the slimmed-out, retro-style Nike model. But other than that, there aren't many other details surrounding the Nike Terra Manta.
When looking into the shoe, one quickly learns that the Nike Terra Manta brings together design cues from other similarly named, outdoor-ready models like the rare Off-White™ Nike Terra Forma and ACG classic Air Terra Humara. However, this new Nike shoe doesn't really give me outdoorsy vibes.
The Nike Terra Manta instead looks a lot like the Nike Gato, a stylish skate-flavored terrace shoe that officially returned earlier this year. Add a hint of Field General vibes, too, for good taste.
Early looks at the shoe also revealed a nice textural contrast on the uppers. The Terra Manta sneaker also flawlessly balances just enough sporty and casual flavors to be the next great flat-soled Nike sneaker.
Nike has even prepared the model in two cool colorways: tan and navy blue. Nothing too crazy but beautiful enough for a solid debut.
Again, there isn't much of information on the Nike Terra Manta. But here's what we do know: the shoes are expected to drop in 2025 and will reportedly retail for just $80, making it a smooth cop that's also easy on your pockets.
With official Nike pics already out in the world, it's safe to assume that these budget-friendly beauties will be before we know it.
