With its new pretty and purple Daybreak sneaker, Nike is clearly hoping for an early spring.

Expect the Daybreak's familiar textural arrangement, which marries velvety suede with crisp nylon (don't forget the leather Swoosh). But this time, Nike splashes the classic running shoe with pastel purple shades, creating this satisfying "Field Purple" version.

It's like a hydrangea in old-school runner form.

The Daybreak is so back, in case you missed it. The '70s running shoe has appeared and reappeared over the past few years in various shapes and forms, including some futuristic versions designed by UNDERCOVER. It's even inspired newer budget-friendly Swoosh models.

These days, you're likely to catch the sneaker wearing anything from tasteful retro colorways to its own leather puffer coat. Yes, you read that right.

Now, the Nike Daybreak arrives in a new, refreshing "Field Purple" option, which has us counting down the days to spring.

It's still a little while before the start of the new season. But the purple Nike sneakers are already available on Sneaker Politics' website for just $105.
