OG releases always drum up excitement in the sneaker world, with Nike being on a tear in this department. Some classic models returned last year, like the Air 180, which launched in its original Ultramarine colorway in May 2024. Another OG colorway from the Air 180s heyday is coming back — the Bluebird rendition.
Initially released in 1991, when the model first hit shelves, the Bluebird rendition of the Air 180 features a simple ‘90s color palette featuring vibrant hues contrasted by a neutral base. White shades land on the felt, suede paneling along the mudguard, eyestays, midfoot, and vamp, while a stark white appears on the mesh base. Pops of blue make their mark on the Swoosh, sockliner, tongue lining, and Nike Air logo on the heel.
