Jordan Release Calendar

After getting a look at the Bruce Lee and Triple Black earlier this season, we’re now treated to our first glimpse of the Nike Astra Ultra Sail Gum W. And even though this silhouette’s only been around for a few months, something tells us it’s destined to sell out fast.
The latest model to embrace the flat sole trend, the Astra Ultra isn’t like most sneakers in this lane. When other brands attempt it, they usually dig deep into their archives and bring back a design we’ve already seen countless times. But the Astra Ultra? It hits completely different.

Not only is it a brand new silhouette, it doesn’t borrow inspiration from any existing model and was created with the help of generative AI, making it feel refreshingly original in a market oversaturated with retro revivals. The upper is wrapped in quilted Sail fabric with dynamic wavy lines that stretch seamlessly from the toebox all the way to the heel. Around the back, a convenient pull tab ensures easy on-and-off wear, while the creamy suede tongue gives off strong soccer boot energy.
Shiny Metallic Silver Nike Swooshes add a touch of bold contrast, while the trippy aesthetic continues down to the Gum Light Brown sole. Lined with dozens of rubber nubs, it not only boosts grip and traction but also adds a playful, experimental edge to the design.
If you’re on the hunt for a sneaker that’s a little weird, a little futuristic, and guaranteed to turn heads, the Nike Astra Ultra Sail Gum W is the one to watch. Dropping in 2025, it will release exclusively in women’s sizing via Nike and select retailers both online and in-store. Want a pair?
