The Nike Daybreak Is Women’s Running History You Can Wear Today

The shoe that made Olympic history in 1984 still looks great decades later.

For U.S. distance running, this was a huge moment—and the iconic Daybreak was right at the foot of it. In a custom pair of red, white, and blue shoes, Benoit Samuelson took the lead early in the race and held it through the finishing tape, beating the second-place Norwegian runner Grete Waitz by 400 meters and setting a new Olympic record with a time of 2:24:52.

The shoe has long been known for its distinctive color choices; but now Nike has added three bold new colorways: Metallic Gold, with a gold swoosh over a light blue upper; Metallic Silver, with a silver swoosh over a monochrome upper; and Lavender Mist with a black swoosh over a color-blocked purple upper. For more color choices, look to the Daybreaks already released in June: Cool Grey, White/University Red, and Vegas Gold.
