Nike's been in a reminiscing mood recently with its Flyknit Racer styles, choosing to release pairs that look like colorways of old.

The latest is this orange and grey shoe, which borrows a color combination from one of the first-ever Flyknit Racers. Gone is the structural look created by the 2012 one's knit, in its place a more mixed motif with linear grey streaks cutting up the orange base.

Like another upcoming Flyknit Racer, some of the technical details on this one are muddy. It turns out the sneaker actually has the same SKU as the aforementioned orange pair from 2012.

There is no firm sneaker release date info on this shoe yet, but Euro retailers have it listed as an early June launch.
