Nike’s Daybreak silhouette is an essential part of their early history, helping to cement the brand’s reputation for performance and innovation. This month, the model returns after several years’ hiatus, with new colors for Summer 2025.
Nike came to fruition as a brand in 1964, changing their name from Blue Ribbon Sports. Originally, the brand was a distributor of imported running shoes before founders Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight began experimenting with making their own sneakers. Fast forward a few years to the ’70s, and Nike was building quite a lead in the field of performance innovation. In 1979, they introduced the Daybreak at the height of the running boom. The super slim model became a fan favorite, and regularly returns to the Nike catalog to this day.
The last time we saw new releases of the Daybreak was back in 2021. The shoe’s return had started a few years earlier in 2019, through collaborations with Sacai and Undercover that renewed interest in the shoe among sneakerheads. Now, Nike has crafted two new pairs of the Daybreak for their Summer 2025 catalog, giving us another chance at the iconic and slim sneaker in fresh colors. First up is the “Limelight” style, which pairs a neon green nylon base with jade green suede overlays and bright orange Swooshes. The second pair is much cooler, pairing shades of Blue Void and Diffused Blue with metallic silver Swooshes.
