Nike just dropped a flame emoji disguised as a sneaker—the Nike ST Flare—and it’s heating up China’s summer courts.
Designed exclusively for China, this outdoor beast features a low-top build with a breathable mesh upper. For those who hoop under the sun, this sneaker brings the breeze while looking fire. Bold red laces and a flaming basketball logo shout, “I came to win and look good doing it.”
The shoe also brings toughness with synthetic overlays and durable medial panels. Your kicks won’t tap out, even if your legs do. The herringbone rubber outsole grips like your buddy who won’t let go in a pickup game. And let’s talk comfort—Zoom cushioning keeps your feet happy through full-court chaos.
But wait, there’s flair in the S.T. Flare—literally. Mismatched insoles rock chain-link graphics and vibrant red and blue details, proving style never takes a timeout.
Perfect for blacktops and buckets, the Nike ST. Flare “Black/Wild Grape Purple” debuts in June 2025 across select Nike Basketball retailers and on Nike.com in China.
Whether you’re draining threes or just flexing on the sideline, the Nike S.T. Flare has game. Lace up, stand out, and let your summer basketball story begin.
