Nike Brings Back the ’96 Atlanta Olympics Vibes with a Bold Purple Air Trainer SC

Nike is paying tribute to the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics with a fresh 30th Anniversary edition of the Air Trainer SC, dropping on June 1, 2026. This new colorway swaps the teal tones from the 20th anniversary version for a rich Pro Purple suede upper that gives the shoe a premium, regal feel. Crisp white accents on the laces, midsole, straps, and side panels help balance the look, while metallic gold hardware adds that perfect Olympic shine.

Subtle Atlanta nods make this release extra special:

An embroidered peach on the right tongue (Atlanta’s signature symbol)

“96” printed on the insole

A vibrant multi-colored translucent outsole featuring red, teal, yellow, and orange — echoing the energetic palette of the ’96 Games

The Nike Air Trainer SC has always been a cross-training classic, and this Olympic-themed version feels right at home. It’s unisex, retails for $140, and will be available on Nike.com and select retailers.
