Nike C1TY Surplus

The Nike C1TY Surplus is a suede and mesh upper athletic shoe featuring a monochrome Light Army color palette for the upper, accented by the Nike Swoosh in Black on the sides. The midsole in Cargo Khaki is accented by a Black Waffle outsole and a tonal Nike Swoosh on the heel. Pops of University Gold accent the Nike Swoosh branding on the tongue and the interior of the heel pull tab.

American sportswear brand Nike is known for collaborating with a range of creatives to design and develop their many categories of athletic and lifestyle shoes. Having partnered with American artist Tom Sachs since 2012 on NikeCraft, the two entities conceptualized the C1TY Surplus specifically for an urban setting, offering both protection and breathability for the city elements.

In our opinion, the best feature of the C1TY Surplus is its Waffle outsole, which gives it a rugged look. The Nike C1TY Surplus released on October 18, 2024, and retailed at $100.
