Nike Zoom Skylon 11 Hyper Pink Black: heel Air Zoom and reported 15 October date

Nike is bringing the Zoom Skylon 11 back in Hyper Pink, Metallic Silver, Black and Summit White. The pair has heel Air Zoom and a Cushlon midsole, and marketplace listings put it on 15 October 2026.

Nike dates the original Skylon 11 to the late 2000s, when layered uppers and sculpted soles were common in running footwear. The returning shoe keeps that mix of mesh, curved overlays and a thick sole cut by deep grooves.

Mesh and synthetic-leather overlays make up the upper, a construction Nike confirms for this pair. Nike links the mesh to breathability and the overlays to durability and support. Reflective design details are part of the shoe as well.

Pink mesh forms the background, with curved black inserts running across the upper. A silver Swoosh marks the side, and the segmented sole finishes in black and white. Metallic Silver, Black and Summit White complete the named colour combination.

Listings describe the material breakdown in two different ways. One gives vegan leather, rubber and textile; another gives 30% rubber and 70% synthetic/textile. The two versions do not match each other. What Nike confirms is the mesh upper and the synthetic-leather overlays.

Era framing also differs. Nike places the original in the late 2000s, while one retailer presents the design as inspired by 1990s aesthetics. The two readings sit side by side as reported, with the late-2000s origin coming from Nike.

Underfoot there's an Air Zoom unit in the heel and a Cushlon foam midsole. Nike describes the combination as responsive cushioning. Air Zoom is the cushioning unit and Cushlon is the foam, so they're separate parts of one setup.

The heel unit is a pressurised pocket of air set into the foam, with fibres inside that pull it back into shape after each step. It compresses on landing and returns as the foot rolls forward. Cushlon carries the rest of the stride.

Deep flex grooves divide the thick midsole into visible sections. Exposed pods sit where the rubber leaves the foam uncovered, which lets the foam flex more freely. Nike links the grooves to its Free designs, which use cuts in the sole to help it bend.

Those cuts change what the sole does during a step. The rear sections compress on landing, and the segmented middle lets the foot roll forward instead of rocking on a stiff slab. At toe-off the forefoot bends upward along the deepest grooves.

A rubber outsole completes the construction under the foam midsole. Rubber is the ground-contact layer, while the Cushlon foam and the heel Air Zoom sit above it. The black-and-white segmentation keeps those lower sections distinct from the pink upper.

Treat 15 October 2026 as expected marketplace timing rather than a fixed launch appointment. The shoe is listed as a men's pair across multiple retailer pages, which separates it from the women's Hyper Pink Black version. Style code IU1869-601 identifies the men's pair when you check sizes and shop listings.

Checking the size you normally wear against the men's listing is the quickest way to avoid ordering the women's version by mistake.
