WMNS Nike V5 RNR "Black Anthracite" HQ7901-001

The WMNS Nike V5 RNR “Black Anthracite” brings early-2000s energy into the now. With its chunky midsole, retro shape, and clean black-on-black finish, this sneaker quietly leans into Y2K nostalgia while staying practical for all-day wear.

Nike builds the upper using breathable mesh and synthetic leather overlays. The mix adds depth without going overboard, while the 3D Swoosh and subtle metallic accents bring texture and shape. A soft collar lining adds extra comfort around the ankle, locking in a secure fit from the first wear.

Underfoot, the foam midsole stays light but delivers just the right amount of cushioning. It balances that early-2000s bulk with modern comfort, making it easy to wear on repeat. The outsole grips well on a variety of surfaces, thanks to tread patterns lifted from archival runners.

The “Black Anthracite” colourway makes this pair especially versatile. Whether you’re pairing it with loose denim, tech pants, or a full tracksuit, it blends in while holding its own. Clean, wearable, and grounded in a familiar silhouette, the V5 RNR slots seamlessly into everyday life without trying to do too much.

Nike doesn’t overwork this one—they just let the shape and finish carry it. That’s what makes it hit.
