Nike Air Trainer Huarache "Cool Grey" Launching 08/01 Colorway: WOLF GREY/STAR BLUE/BLACK Style: Men's Sneakers

Release Date: August 01, 2025

Jul 24, 2025

For years, it seemed like this iconic, freakily futuristic shoe would remain discontinued forever. But don't panic. The Nike Air Trainer Huarache "Cool Grey" is back. 

A Modern Take on a Classic: The Huarache Legacy

Nike Air Huarache first hit the shelves in 1991 and soon earned its place as a streetwear icon. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, who drew inspiration from traditional Native American sandals, the sneaker featured a futuristic aesthetic. It offered a unique blend of performance and comfort through its neoprene-and-spandex inner sock. 

Fast forward, and the legacy continues with the Nike Air Huarache Ultra. The modern Nike Ultra has been redesigned with new tech for a light, breathable feel. The cored-out midsole gives you lasting comfort (like all Air Huaraches do), and the seamless mesh bootie wraps your foot in a secure, sock-like fit.

The Huaraches are typically tighter than other Nikes due to this snug neoprene sock construction. The result is a slightly narrow shoe that may cause some wearers to size up. But once you find the right size, the Huarache is incredibly comfortable.

"Cool Grey" Aesthetics: A Closer Look

It's minimalist, it's streamlined, and the "Cool Grey" colorway is unexpectedly slick. This color, last sold in 2016 with the Air Trainer Huarache "Cool Grey," has been long anticipated. Add the molded detailing for the classic leather saddle instead of heavy overlays and a refined neoprene bootie, and these shoes will ooze class and comfort. 

Comfort Redefined: What Makes the Huarache Ultra So Easy to Wear?

The Nike Air Trainer Huarache "Cool Grey" doesn't just look good; it feels good too:

 

  • Lightweight construction for all-day wear: Without the heavy overlays, this refined version weighs nearly 20% lighter than its predecessor.
  • Neoprene bootie for a snug, sock-like fit: The Ultra model refines the neoprene bootie by reducing unnecessary layers and using lightweight stretch webbing at the heel. The updated design enhances ease of entry while retaining the iconic Huarache feel.
  • Air-sole unit for cushioning: The Ultra retains Nike's iconic Air-Sole cushioning, and the reduced tooling keeps things light, springy, and easy on the joints.
  • Durable waffle outsole for traction: Underfoot, the Air Huarache Ultra features a durable waffle-pattern outsole, a subtle nod to Nike's earliest running shoes. 

Nike Huaraches are good for anything, from going to the gym to running errands to playing street ball.
