Name: Nike Sprint Sister “Ridgerock”Colorway: Ridgerock/Ocean Cube-Dark Cinder-SailSKU: IR5693-256MSRP: $110 USDRelease Date: Summer 2026The Nike Sprint Sister revives a 1979 women’s track classic with a modern, low‑profile silhouette that carries a graceful, almost ballerina‑like appeal. Built with a minimalist canvas and suede construction, the sneaker is dressed predominantly in earthy “Ridgerock” tones. A crisp “Sail” white Swoosh sweeps across the quarters, detailed with perforated ditsy patterns and motifs that add subtle texture. Completing the design is a wrap‑around rubber outsole, extending slightly over the heel and toe in matching Ridgerock, reinforcing both durability and style.Perhaps the most striking update in this modern reimagining is the inclusion of double-lacing; each shoe is adorned with two different colored shoelaces selected from a whimsical palette of “Ocean Cube,” “Dark Cinder,” “Sail” and “Soft Pink.” This playful, customizable detail allows the wearer to experiment with color play, successfully balancing the sneaker’s 1970s track heritage with a soft, contemporary fashion sensibility.
