Nike Air Trainer SC "Atlanta Olympics 30th Anniversary" IQ5796-500

The Nike Air Trainer SC “Atlanta Olympics 30th Anniversary” brings back a cult favourite with fresh energy and a strong hit of nostalgia. First introduced to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 1996 Atlanta Games, this updated release honours that same moment in sports history while giving the classic trainer a bold new identity.

This time around, Nike swaps the green tones from the earlier pair for a striking Pro Purple upper inspired by vintage Atlanta Olympics apparel from the mid-90s. Metallic Gold accents land across the branding and hardware, adding contrast without taking away from the retro feel. It’s loud in the right way. Confident, but wearable.

Long-time fans will appreciate the return of the embroidered peach graphic on the tongue, a direct nod to Atlanta’s cultural identity during the Games. Inside, special ‘96 Olympics graphics printed across the insoles continue the storytelling. These small details help the sneaker feel connected to the era that inspired it rather than just another quick retro release.

Performance roots still sit at the centre of the Air Trainer SC. Originally linked to multi-sport training, the silhouette keeps its supportive high-top build and cushioned sole unit that made it a standout during its original run. The shape feels substantial underfoot while still carrying that unmistakable old-school Nike training aesthetic.
