Nike’s reissue of the classic Air 180 runner anded this Fall, first by rolling out some of the shoe’s OG colorways. Now, they’ve moved onto fresh takes on the model, with this “University Blue” pair coming in Spring 2025.
Thirty-three years ago Nike launched the Air 180, a new running shoe in their Air Max family. The model debuted a larger, more durable style of the signature Air bag in the heels, and spawned a new era for innovation in cushioning. Now, after its last retro run in 2018, the Swoosh has rolled out the model once more, supposedly having remastered the shoe’s shape and fit.
This week, one of their upcoming styles for 2025 has emerged, remixing the sneaker in a bright “University Blue” color scheme. The look begins with a mesh base layer in Deep Royal Blue, adding the University shades for the shoe’s suede layers. Hyper Pink accents add some contrast to the look, by way of the Swooshes, branding, and midsole elements.
