People are obsessed with nostalgia, so it should come as no surprise that the 1980’s-inspired Nike Squash-Type shoe is trending.

The Nike Squash-Type, as described by the sportswear giant, is a nod to court sports and ’80s styling. To create the shoe, Nike updated its retro cupsole design by delivering it with a softer rubber to provide added cushioning. The silhouette also features stitched Swoosh branding and a deconstructed aesthetic, durable rubber outsoles for added traction and soft and breathable uppers made with leather and mesh.

The latest colorway to drop is executed with a clean palette using the brand’s summit white, alpha orange and dark obsidian hues. The look is available now in men’s sizing via Nike.com with an $85 retail price.

Aside from the aforementioned iteration, Nike has four other colorways for men available on its e-commerce platform.
