Nike Air Trainer Huarache “Challenge Red” Returns February 2026

The Nike Air Trainer Huarache “Challenge Red” is set to release on February 6, 2026. This iteration features Challenge Red suede across the upper with speckled detailing. Originally released in 2014, the 2026 pair will retail for $170.

Over recent seasons, the Air Trainer Huarache has seen a quiet but steady return, and the “Challenge Red” colorway fits right into that momentum. This colorway may look familiar to some, as it was launched in 2014. Instead of loud contrast, this pair keeps things intentional with mostly Red suede everywhere you look, while Black on the midfoot strap, underlays, and heel counter offers balance. A release will occur in February 2026.

What makes the “Challenge Red” Nike Air Trainer Huarache stand out is how it leans into that rich Red tone across most of the upper, wrapping the foot in a bold but wearable palette. The suede base feels premium while the black accents on key structural areas keep the look grounded and versatile. A light speckled effect across the midsole and a lightly tinted, somewhat translucent red outsole give the shoe extra personality without stealing the show.

Bottom Line

I remember when this pair was released in 2014. A lot of people liked the shoes. However, I don’t think they will have the same impact today. The mostly Red takeover doesn’t have the same appeal as it once did. This is just my opinion, but if you’re a fan, I would be patient, as you might be able to get them on sale.
