Sue Bird's Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 PE Arrives in July

A defining silhouette of early-2000s basketball is set for a powerful comeback — the Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 “Sue Bird” PE is officially returning in Fall 2026. Originally worn during Bird’s first championship run with the Seattle Storm in 2004, this retro marks the revival of one of her most celebrated on-court sneakers.

Dressed in a mix of White, Deep Forest, and Canyon Gold, the colorway captures the Storm’s timeless team palette. The crisp blend of smooth leather and metallic detailing pays tribute to Bird’s dominance on the hardwood — and her legacy immortalized in bronze outside Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, where her statue even includes the signature “BIRDY” etching across the ankle strap.

Beyond its ties to Bird, the Huarache 2K4 stands as a basketball icon in its own right. Legends like Kobe Bryant and Penny Hardaway helped define its place in Nike history, and its reintroduction alongside other upcoming colorways like “USA” and “Triple Black” reaffirms its enduring importance. The return of Bird’s pair underscores how performance design and storytelling intertwine — honoring one of the game’s greatest players and the cultural depth that sneaker history thrives on.

A release is expected on July 26, 2026, with retail imagery for the pair added below ahead of the release.
