Consumers who are looking for some more [nostalgic designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-v2k-run) to add to their wardrobes are likely to find the updated [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-p6000-premium) Pantheon models appealing.

In order to maintain the [retro aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-rejuven8) that the sneakers are known for, the sportswear giant leaves the silhouette almost exactly as it used to be, with only a few minor changes made to the design of the uppers. These components are made from a combination of neoprene and suede, with the latter accenting the uppers with pops of different colors.

Included in the new Nike Pantheon collection is a white, black and coral model, two variations of black and white ones, and a navy and black version. In addition to making some slight adjustments to the uppers, Nike includes some added cushion to the soles to make the updated sneakers more comfortable.
