In response to the frequent leaks of its upcoming footwear releases, Nike has introduced the annual SNKRS Showcase series as a strategic measure to control the narrative around its product launches. The series, which began last October, has unveiled a variety of in-line releases, and its success has prompted a second installment this June. This latest showcase featured several exciting drops, including the anticipated return of the Nike Gato.
Official Look at the Nike Gato “White Gum” Variant
Originally launched in 2010 as a futsal shoe, the Nike Gato gained renewed attention through a collaboration with Supreme in 2018 under the Nike SB label. Now, the Gato is making a comeback without the SB branding, as soccer-inspired designs remain popular. The June preview highlighted four colorways—white, gray, maroon, and green—and we now have an official look at the “White Gum” variant. This model features a white textile base with white leather overlays and a gray suede toe, complemented by a Cushlon-backed sole unit that includes a white midsole and a gum outsole.
Nike Gato Release: Availability and Pricing Details
Nike has announced that the Gato will return this holiday season, with availability expected through Nike SNKRS and select retailers, priced starting at $110 USD. Stay tuned for additional updates and detailed views of the other teased colorways as we look forward to the sneaker’s release later this year.
