Nike continues to prove that it has simply the finest range of sneakers for any type of person — be it a trail runner or a sneakerhead, or even a ballet dancer. Each month, we love scouring the footwear giant’s catalog for our favorite models that have come out in the previous weeks. These are our picks for the month of February.
Article Overview
Nike Air Max Goadome Low
Around the turn of the century, Nike took aim at Timberland with a work boot of their own called the Goadome, part of the ACG range and equipped with an aggressively-treaded rubber gum sole. It recently got revived as an Air Max boot, but it was still a bit chunkier for some. Luckily, Nike has come back with a sneaker version that’s much more town-to-trail than its predecessor. Sporting a much cleaner aesthetic, the Goadome Low still features the signature perforated upper and full-length Air Max midsole, but just with a cleaner, more versatile design.
Nike Vomero Plus “Triple Black”
For athletes who want the Vomero’s famed cushioning without the crazy 55mm stack height of the Premium, the Vomero Plus is the perfect choice. But now that running shoe gets its stealthiest variant yet with the “Triple Black” rendition. You still get the massive 45mm stack height and the full-length ZoomX midsole boasting about 85% energy return (their best available). Meanwhile, the wider platform and increased rocker geometry helps you with stability on these mid-premium runners.
Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble Leather “Baroque Brown”
Nike celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Air Max 95 last year by reviving the highly-demanded “Big Bubble” design of the original models (the reissues had noticeably smaller Air pockets at the heel since 2001) and it looks like they don’t plan on reverting back any time soon. Perhaps our favorite iteration is the “Baroque Brown” leather variant you see here, elevating the retro lifestyle sneaker to new heights with a handsome heritage aesthetic.
Nike x Levi’s Air Jordan 3
This isn’t Levi’s first rodeo putting denim on Nike sneakers. This time they’ve tackled Tinker Hatfield’s legendary 1988 design — the one that essentially saved MJ’s relationship with Nike. Iconic for debuting the Jumpman logo and its indelible elephant print, the Air Jordan 3 is still arguably the most versatile of the Hall of Famer’s signature shoes, made even more so with the classic Indigo colorway with a black-on-black elephant pattern in back. Get these before they disappear.
Nike ACG Ultrafly Trail
Announced last year, Ultrafly Trail running shoe is finally hitting shelves in a bold Hyper Crimson colorway. Now added to the outdoor-focused ACG lineup, the new rendition fixes everything that didn’t work with the 2023 original — softer carbon plate, better drainage, and a wider fit — thanks to 30,000 miles of testing by professional athletes. Nike’s keeping the core cushioning system from the original but now exposes more of the ZoomX foam to give you more comfort over rougher terrain.
Nike Mind 001 Black and Hyper Crimson
Honorable Mention: If you haven’t noticed, the Mind 001 has been so hot lately and selling out instantly. Debuting in Light Smoke Grey, the recovery slides eventually got this Black variant you see here. Packing sculptural molded foam and orange grip pods for targeted recovery underneath, the closed-toe slippers sport a futuristic aesthetic that easily separates them from other recovery gear on the market. Hopefully these will be easier to obtain in the future, but for now, they keep getting snatched up the same day they drop.
Nike Air Jordan 6 Infrared Salesman Sneaker
Honorable Mention: In 1999, Nike scrapped a sample colorway of the Air Jordan 6 before it ever hit shelves. It popped up in seasonal catalogs and amassed a sort of mythology over the years. Now, the footwear brand decided to finally release the sneaker, featuring way more Infrared across the midsole than the original 1991 model (instead of just the heel and toe). Known as the “Salesman” sample, it also has updated construction that’s closer to what MJ actually wore during his first-ever championship. These have sold out but we loved them too much to leave them out.
