WMNS Nike Air Superfly "Metallic Gold" IB5824-700

Nike continues its push into low-profile runners with the return of the Air Superfly — this time reissued in a striking “Metallic Gold” women’s edition. Originally designed in the early 2000s as a racing shoe, the Superfly brings a lightweight, Y2K-inspired frame into today’s street rotation with ease.

This version keeps the silhouette’s athletic DNA intact. The upper features a mix of breathable mesh and layered synthetic textures, shaped into a streamlined build that hugs the foot. Shimmering gold covers the surface, with tonal accents that shift in the light without going full chrome. It’s bold, but wearable.

Underfoot, updated Nike Air cushioning runs through the heel, giving it enough spring for all-day wear. The outsole sticks with the original pattern — a nod to track spikes — but fine-tuned for casual traction. It moves well, grips well, and wears in nicely.

What makes this pair stand out is its blend of nostalgia and now. While models like the Total 90 III and Astra Ultra are helping round out Nike’s current retro-lifestyle lineup, the Superfly feels like a bridge between eras. It’s sleek without being flat. Sporty without needing performance context. And the gold finish adds just enough flash to separate it from neutral drops.

For those who’ve been waiting for a proper low-cut runner with presence, this WMNS Air Superfly delivers. It’s quick on the eye, light on foot, and sharp enough to carry through the season.
