[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/university-blue-1) introduces a look at the latest [tonal iteration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sky-blue-colorway-1) of the Air Zoom Spiridon sneaker model with the launch of the Signal Blue colorway palette to join its lineup. The colorway is set to launch online at Nike on March 13th, and it is comprised of hues of Signal Blue, Black, White, and Metallic Luster.

The model boasts a retro design with the 90s model detailed with black mudguard further accented by reflective piping. The midfoot has the Swoosh emblem with a [shining silver hue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-90-usa) and black outline. The upper nods to the iconic blue, which is also the same hue that makes up the breathable mesh on the shoe. A touch of red is seen at the small Swoosh branding.
