Nike Gato "University Red" HQ6019-102

Nike revives a fan-favourite from the archives with the return of the Gato. First introduced in 2010 as an indoor football staple, the silhouette now finds a fresh purpose on the streets. This “University Red” edition keeps it clean yet bold, blending premium materials with a colourway that refuses to be ignored.

The upper layers soft leather with durable suede accents, balancing a structured fit with that unmistakable Nike heritage feel. Lightweight textile underlays break up the panels, adding breathability where you need it. Whether you’re on the move or keeping it casual, the mix of materials gives the Gato a crafted, well-built look.

Underfoot, the foam midsole cushions every step with a soft, responsive ride. The gum rubber outsole not only nails the retro aesthetic but delivers reliable grip, making it versatile enough for indoor courts or urban pavements.

But what really makes this Gato pop is the University Red finish. It’s loud without being overdone, with neutral overlays that tone it down just enough. From the layered textures to the throwback sole, this shoe bridges sport and street with ease.

If you’ve been waiting for a Gato comeback, this is it. Whether you remember it from its futsal roots or you’re seeing it for the first time, the “University Red” edition serves up an everyday option that hits on both looks and comfort.
