Originals introduces the reflective Nite Jogger silhouette, a progressive design incorporating classic archival cues with modern lines.

Taking inspiration from the brand’s first foray into hi-vis technology, Nite Jogger’s contemporary design delivers an advanced interpretation of a past style retooled and restyled for today’s nighttime creator.

Designed to stand out, Nite Jogger harnesses the functional reflective technology of its past iteration to illuminate its wearer after dark and become a new beacon for street style.

Enhancing its night time glow, the revolutionary new silhouette is powered by deliberately placed hi-vis technology. Reflective hits feature throughout the lacing, 3-stripes, heel patch, and highlight overlays, bringing together purpose-built technology and cutting edge design for creators who know it’s never too late to pursue their vision.

The upper is made up of lightweight nylon ripstop, soft mesh knit, and suede overlays. Elevated for comfort and engineered for nighttime exploration, the shoe sits atop a full-length BOOST sole.

Re-imagining the original Nite Jogger colorway, the updated release is punctuated by contrasting hits of orange set against an all-black upper.

A shoe designed for the relentless pursuit of creativity, unbound by the constraints of daylight, the Nite Jogger sneaker is capped off by the message “the speed of nite” written in morse code on its outsole.
