Nike’s Air Zoom Spiridon is back this year, remastered in one of the shoe’s best retro offerings this century. Today, the vintage runner has surfaced in a new color scheme for Fall, mixing a plain “Off-Noir” black palette with subtle purple accents.
The Air Zoom Spiridon is a personal favorite from Nike’s archives. Originally released in 1997, the model was designed by Christian Tresser, who also created the Air Max 97, two icons in one year. Named after Spiridon Louis, the first Olympic marathon winner, the shoe featured a full-length Zoom Air unit and a distinctive mesh-and-metallic upper with a reflective piping around each layer. This year’s retro of the silhouette was heralded by an Undefeated project late in 2024, quickly followed by a very quiet release of two Fragment-designed colorways.
Nike filled out their offerings of the Spiridon with many of the shoe’s OG colorways early this year, before moving on to new ideas. After going big and bright for Summer with the “Barely Volt” edition, the Swoosh is taking a more low-key approach for Fall. Alongside a “Photon Dust” white pair we saw yesterday, a simple “Off-Noir” black pair is on the way. This edition pits the shoe in a mesh and canvas black upper, with silver metallic piping in between each material. Nike has added a tiny hint of color through the Swooshes, which come dressed in a dark Cave Purple tone.
