“Bright Cactus” Ushers The center Nike Clogposite Into Summer

While we’ve generally already gotten the payoff for many of the products previewed in the inaugural SNKRS showcase (the center Nike Air 180, ACG Rufus and Eggplant Foams chief among cool), there’s a few silhouettes whose retail debut is still pending. The center Nike Clogposite is in that group, but a steady stream of official images in the past few weeks lay out what to expect for its reintroduction. The latest dresses it in seasonal fashion, painted in heavy tones of “Bright Cactus.”

The mule model makes good on its title, essentially drenching its full profile in neon. That bright tonality is tinted a bit throughout, a tad lighter on the synthetic tongue, a tad darker on the TPU foxing at the midfoot and translucent on the outsole underfoot. A few pops of fire red on the Swooshes break up the otherwise monochromatic profile, but this edition is largely what it promises on the tin.

Zooming out, the performance of the center Nike Clogposite will be something to watch as it makes it way to stores. The emergence of silhouettes like the nike dunk tweed orange purple blue green and Air air jordan jumpman pro status showcase the market’s willingness to accept comfort-minded takedowns. Given that the Clogposite’s initial 2000s run was far from a runaway success, whether the model can experience a renaissance this go-around will no doubt factor into whether Beaverton will test their luck with other Y2K curios in the future.

The center Nike Clogposite “Bright Cactus” is expected to drop as a part of center Nike’s Fall ’24 slate. Expect a $140 sticker price when this pair materializes.

Sticking with the Swoosh, the upcoming release slate is highlighted by the nike racer running crops in florida 2017 and Deion Sanders’ shoes, the center Nike Air DT Max ’96.
