Nike Preps Daybreak With New Metallic and Pastel Colorways
A trio of fresh color combinations for the newly-revived model.



Since reviving its ’80s bred Daybreak silhouette, Nike has released the retro sneaker in several neutral colorways and even collaborative iterations with UNDERCOVER. Now, the brand is preparing to drop the model off in a trio of fresh color combinations, leaning into metallics and pastels for its latest scheme.
The first new edition, dubbed “Lavender Mist,” features a pale purple upper that gets contrasted with a black Swoosh and tongue logo. A bubblegum pink “Nike” emblem on the heel adds another soft touch. Meanwhile, metallics come into play for the other two versions, which are brightened up with gold and silver details respectively. The gold version gets paired with a powder blue base for a livelier look, while the silver is offered in a monochromatic grey and black upper.
Each style is crafted in nylon and suede, and constructed with a foam midsole and waffle outsole. Clean white laces finish off the footwear for all three models.
Priced at ¥12,960 (approximately $120 USD), the Daybreak in “Lavender Mist,” “Metallic Silver” and “Metallic Gold” will be available beginning August 2 from Nike Japan’s webstore.
