It’s impossible to catch Sha’Carri Richardson unless you spot her in a photoshoot. In her latest session with Nike, the track and field superstar was spotted wearing an upcoming women’s footwear model called the Nike Air Super Fly.
The Air Super Fly is a running-inspired silhouette that features a streamlined design marked by perforated uppers and a smooth midsole. The silhouette aims for the same sleek aesthetic seen on runners as it sheds any excess padding for a slim, low-profile fit at the toe — common design principles found in track spikes.
Originally designed by Caprice Neely and releasing in 2001 in a variety of colorways, the Air Super Fly eventually caught the eye of Junya Watanabe who later used the shoe for a Comme Des Garçons collaboration. The photos of the original pair of the Air Super Fly in the same colorway worn by Richardson are below (via Nike Server).
Official release information for the Air Super Fly has not yet been revealed, although Sha’Carri herself mentions that the shoes are “Coming soon…”
In the months following the Olympics, Nike is letting its athletes run free with the latest and greatest in women’s footwear on feet. Earlier this Fall, gymnast Jordan Chiles threw out the first pitch at a New York Mets game wearing the all-new Air Max Muse.
