With an initial release back in 1979, the Nike Daybreak is one of Nike's true pioneers. Staying true to the original OG form, the Daybreak trainers mark an ultimate blast from the past. The sleek silhouette spent decades in the Nike archive before making a welcome comeback in 2019, still boasting the classic colour-blocked suede and lightweight mesh combinations the sneaker is famous for.
Vintage running is reimagined with this Nike retro runner constructed from lightweight nylon uppers, premium suede overlays and responsive foam for a modern reworking of the classic '70s style. Nike Daybreak trainers boast a gum rubber outsole and foam midsole for super-plush cushioning, while the padded collar is designed for supportive all-day comfort on both the streets and the tracks.
The Daybreak has long been a ground-breaking shoe for Nike as it was one of the brand’s first releases to feature the Waffle outsole. In a nod to its vintage runner heritage, the rubber Waffle outsole adds traction and durability for busy city days.
A pair of the Nike Daybreak was famously worn by athlete Joan Benoit Samuelson who stormed the women’s Olympic marathon in 1984, so be inspired to update your classic athletics look with a champion's finishing touch.
Finally, bringing a throwback track look to your sneaker collection, these kicks are finished with a signature leather Swoosh and old-school Nike branding on the tongue for a 70s-inspired design.
