Andrew Rizzo We’ve been saying that if Nike really wants to turn things around, it needs to thrive in the $100-and-under category again. Look around the sneaker landscape and nearly every brand has a hit in that price range: ASICS with the GEL-1130, adidas with the Samba and Spezial, and so on. Meanwhile, Nike’s catalog has only gotten more expensive without necessarily offering more to justify the increase. 2027 will bring a new silhouette that might help right that wrong. Enter the Nike Flyknit Runner, a $95 model built around one of the Beaverton brand’s most consequential innovations of the century.
We should lead with the fact that many of you have been clamoring for the return of the Nike Flyknit Racer for years now. Nike’s first Flyknit model reached immense popularity in the early 2010s, paving the way for a much broader Flyknit takeover that carried through the rest of the decade. Some might argue the brand took things a little too far, but even so, collectors and casual sneaker fans alike have maintained an appetite for the material.
Striving to capture that same energy nearly fifteen years later, the Flyknit Runner reads as an aesthetically on-par takedown with a Flyknit upper and what looks like a cushioned Lunarlon midsole. The Nike Roshe Run deserves a shout as well, as the Flyknit Runner looks to deliver many of the same qualities that made the Roshe a mainstream sensation. The technology may differ, but the winning formula is practically the same: comfort, simplicity, and, most importantly, affordability.
The Nike Flyknit Runner launches Spring 2027 in a whole slew of colorways, from simple black and white executions to more intriguing blends featuring colorful Flyknit uppers. Again, retail is set at just $95. Check out official images below and keep our Sneaker Release Dates page handy for any and all updates.
