Nike is an expert at playing into our nostalgia, as they’re often bringing back the very sneakers we couldn’t afford as kids. As of late, the brand has taken a keen interest in the offerings of the early to late aughts, ushering in the return of many a 2006 release. The Nike ACG Watercat+ is but yet another surprising comeback — and after the debut of its “Court Purple” colorway this Friday, we can expect to see the silhouette hit the shelves in a number of inline styles.
In addition to the “Phantom” and “Black/Orange” — both of which surfaced back in February — the Nike ACG Watercat+ will be dropping later this year in “University Gold.” Said hue is used predominantly throughout the shoe, painting not only the upper’s woven exterior but also its lace toggle, midsole, and leather trims. Black, then, rounds out the colorway along the outsole, tongue and heel, with touches of red often situated atop and adjacent.
Enjoy a closer look at the Nike ACG Watercat+ “University Gold” via the retailer imagery ahead. A firm release date has not yet surfaced, but it likely shouldn’t be long before we see pairs available on Nike.com and at select retailers.
In other news, Nike recently introduced the Air Max 97 Futura.
