Few sneakers manage to stay true to their roots quite like the Nike Daybreak. Back in rotation this summer, it returns in three era-inspired makeups: “Limelight/Healing Jade,” “Blue Void/Diffused Blue,” and “Flax/Velvet Brown.”

If you’re into vintage runners, this pack is for your. The “Limelight” pair has a vibrant mesh that meets fuzzy green suede, all capped with a fiery orange Swoosh. It has personality without going overboard.

The “Blue Void” edition plays it cooler. Deep navy shades appear around the shoe, complimented with white accents. Perfect for everyday wear. Meanwhile, the “Flax” colorway opts for earthy suede, a palette perfect for fall.

Each pair sticks to the original formula: lightweight foam soles, Waffle rubber outsoles, and low-profile builds that don’t try too hard. It’s a timeless look that still works since 1979.

Release Date & Where To Buy

Nike’s dropping the “Limelight” and “Blue Void” colorways on July 29, 2025, through SNKRS. The “Flax” version is still waiting on an official date. Price? $105 across the board.

There’s something refreshing about a shoe that doesn’t need gimmicks. Just clean colors, smart material choices, and a design that quietly flexes its heritage.
