Nike has reworked the Rejuven8 for colder weather, giving the Nike Rejuven8 WNTR a suede upper in place of the original model’s open synthetic cage. The new upper gives it more coverage for colder weather, moving away from the breathable construction that made the Rejuven8 recognizable in the first place.

Most of the changes are on the outside, where suede panels are joined by a sturdier lacing system. A rough-textured welt runs along the area where the upper meets the midsole, adding to the shoe’s boot-like appearance. Nike kept the removable inner bootie from the original model, so wearers can still take it out when needed.

Earlier this year, Nike introduced a jelly sandal version of the Rejuven8 that made even more use of its open design. The WNTR takes a different approach, covering areas that were previously exposed and using materials more commonly found on winter footwear. The basic shape remains familiar, even with the changes to the upper.

Two colorways of the Nike Rejuven8 WNTR were shown during the latest SNKRS Verified preview. Both should be out before the end of 2026.
