In an instance of truly cosmic timing, the ink has just dried on the Jacquemus Moon Shoe, another sell-out event for the high fashion imprint and more proof for the Swoosh that digging into its archives for the low-profile models of old can yield explosive results.

Enter the Nike Sprint Sister, now surfacing via official images that tip us off to an impending retro. For a history lesson, the femininely titled silhouette is a genuine artifact, one of the first silhouettes that the nascent brand dropped specifically for women, fitted as a track spike “for her.” In a real moment of “what’s old is new,” this actually marks the second bring-back of the Sprint Sister, last seen on shelves in the mid-to-late aughts during a moment where low-profile footwear was just as in vogue as it is currently.

Yet not everything is beat-for-beat identical to what we saw two decades ago. Flexing their newfound fashion-forward bona fides, Nike pins lacey textures on the Swoosh and outfits the shoe with a double lace, each a choice we’ve seen on viral fare like the Miu Miu New Balance 530. Cracked brown suede rounds out the upper, while an ultra-slim black rubber patch provides the traction underfoot.

Release information for the Nike Sprint Sister in this “Ridgerock/Ocean Cube” colorway is limited at the time of this writing. However, we can confirm a $110 retail price in women’s sizing. Check out the refreshed silhouette via the official images below.
