Nike’s Air 180 silhouette returned from the vault in 2024, launching multiple OG colorways and new renditions since coming back in May. Joining the lineup of Spring 2025 releases that already include the Tea Tree Mist Bronzine colorway is an all-too-familiar University Blue Hyper Pink.
Drawing similarities to one of 2023’s best Nike SB releases, the Run The Jewels x Nike SB Dunk Low, the pair comes with a color scheme that hip-hop duo’s SB collab. A light university blue hue is applied to the felt suede along the mudguard, midfoot, vamp, and heel overlays, while the neoprene mesh base comes in a deep royal blue finish. Pops of pink are applied to the Air 180 branding along the tongue, Nike Air embroidered on the heel, the TPU heel counter, and the leather Swoosh cutting across the midfoot.
The silhouette has more pops of pink on the insole, while the sockliner around it has a tonal deep royal blue finish. Underfoot, the model features a Phylon midsole in deep royal blue, with the portion surrounding the Air 180 unit coming in pink. The black, pink, and deep royal blue rubber outsole finishes the design.
The Nike Air 180 University Blue Hyper Pink will release January 30, 2025, through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $150.
