Who pulls off Nike’s signature merchandise better than the oh-so-fashionable Sha’Carri Richardson? Bet you cannot narrow down on a name. Well, turns out, neither can Nike. Thus, after being the face of the mega Nike and Jacquemus Spring 2024 fashion collaboration earlier this year, the market giant has once again gone back to their most trusted athlete partner to be the face of their latest launch!
Yes, Sha’Carri Richardson has recently added a post on Instagram, where she’s seen serving up serious style in an all-blue look, featuring a Nike bomber jacket with knee-length socks and a stunning pair of silver-black shoes. She captions it, “1 of 1! The only one! New Nike Women Air silhouette! Coming soon…” giving us a sneak peek of what’s likely an upcoming launch that she’s set to be featured in.
And well, something tells us that it’s likely to be a new women’s sneaker version on the shelves of Nike stores. There’s already a buzz around the town that these may be the new Nike Superfly kicks, carrying a minimalist look with their majorly silver body. However, while we await the official announcement, with her long red polka-dotted nails and her spectacular look, Sha’Carri Richardson is reminding people of the great Florence Griffith Joyner. So much that one of them took to the comments and wrote, “Flo Jo is so happy 😍😍😍😍 fashion and track.”

With her classic fashion sense, love for fashion aesthetics, and supersonic speed, Sha’Carri Richardson has been touted as the one taking forward Flo-Jo’s legacy. Much like the late veteran, the Dallas native is big on blending fashion into athletics, with all the colored wigs she would wear and of course, her six-inch long acrylic nails. But today, she’s taken it a cut above.
Remember when the photoshoot images of Sha’Carri Richardson posing with the luxury ‘Swoosh’ handbag in February sent ripples through the market? No wonder that Nike logo-inspired bag with a Jacquemus twist had quickly become a hot topic. And now, she’s done the same for Nike, modeling with the silver sneakers assumably part of Nike’s Women Air Silhouette collection, which are turning heads too. Here’s what people are reacting to.
Sha’Carri Richardson’s latest Nike collaboration is dropping jaws
Taking to the comment section, one of the fans wrote, “Thank God Nike always get you right! They didn’t miss with this one! ☝🏽” Well, in March 2024, Nike signed an estimated $20 million deal with Sha’Carri for over five years. While that raised many eyebrows back then, the speedster proved it right with her Olympic qualification and medals in the coming months. And now she’s grown to become the brand’s ace athlete, with people appreciating them for their selection of the 24-year-old.
Well, as per her stories and the latest update, Sha’Carri, Dina Asher-Smith, and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce recently caught up at the Nike Women’s Think Tank special event in Mexico. There, the ‘Track Queens’ were seen posing together in Nike athleisure, and shortly after, Sha’Carri’s sneak peek post about the sneaker launch. However, Richardson being spotted at Nike’s events, shoots, or in their ensembles is no rare sighting.
Thus, another fan went as far as calling her “Nike’s best model” and it’s easy to see why. Well, Sha’Carri Richardson continues to grow into a lifestyle model face for Nike. She never misses to endorse the brand, like when she did at the USA men’s basketball gold-medal winning match in Paris, by wearing a custom corset made of Nike’s dunk sneakers. In fact, one fan added that if you want a campaign to take off fast, Sha’Carri Richardson’s the go-to. They wrote, “Have Sha’carri run it back when I need it fast like stat” As it turns out, she’s not just fast on the track but in making things go viral too.
And like always, she never goes wrong with fashion. Even this time, her look was well appreciated by the fans, one of whom wrote, “This outfit is so fly🔥” With a neutral navy blue color maintained throughout, the only pop of color came in through her nails. Moreover, the balloon skirt with miniature white prints was different from anything she’d pulled off before. Thus, it rightly sets a fresh tone for the launch of the new Nike product which seems to be a sneaker. What do you think the product, is? And is Sha’Carri doing justice to the same?
