TLDR: The Nike Air 180 returns on 12 May 2025 in its original ‘Bluebird’ colourway - a tribute to the 90s with a modern twist. The price for this model is €150. Nike digs deep into the archives and brings back one of the most iconic running silhouettes of the 90s with the Air 180 ‘Bluebird’. The new version comes closer to the original than ever before - both with the revised upper material and the characteristic 180-degree Air element that made the model revolutionary back then.
The upper is made of white suede and white nylon - an understated base that is brought to life by bold accents in Periwinkle Blue (on the Swoosh, inner lining, tongue and forefoot area of the outsole). Teal-coloured highlights on the heel counter, around the air unit and on the tongue branding provide additional depth and a modern finish. The result is a look that is both retro and contemporary.
Fans of the original will be delighted: the original ‘Bluebird’ colour variant is being reissued for the first time. This gives the retro runner real collector's status.
