Created by Tinker Hatfield in 1992, the Nike Air Trainer Huarache took the cross-training world by storm alongside classics such as the Air Trainer series and Air Trainer SC. In 2025, Nike brought the Trainer Huarache back for a much-needed comeback, and the best part is that this iteration is the closest to the OG we have seen so far.
With the help of Corteiz, the Nike Air Trainer Huarache buzz began in 2024. The first GR colors dropped in the spring, Blue Tint and Baroque Brown Smokey Blue, to name a few. For Fall, we have the return of the coveted Cool Blue pair along with a new Wolf Grey Star Blue iteration.
Drawing inspiration from the NYC-themed Cement City edition released in 2014, the Nike Air Trainer Huarache Wolf Grey Star Blue features a grey-based upper comprising suede overlays, tumbled leather on the toe, and a strip of nubuck on the midfoot. More grey comes into play via the signature midfoot strap and circular tongue tag. Black covers the rest of the upper, including the neoprene bootie, laces, and branding.
Moving down, the midsole is covered in black, sitting atop a full translucent star blue-colored rubber outsole, mimicking the volt color seen on the Cement City pair. One more hit of star blue comes via the classic Nike Air branding embroidered on the back heels, finishing this pair with a subtle pop of color.
The Nike Air Trainer Huarache Wolf Grey Star Blue will release in Fall 2025 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $160.
