It's been over two decades since the Nike Air Icarus first released, and now the overlooked runner is finally getting the retro treatment it deserves.

Previewed in two O.G. colorways — "Volt/Fuchsia" and "Infrared" (or "Bright Crimson" as its known today) — the Air Icarus should resonate with 'heads that grew up in the '90s. It sports several design cues that were commonplace on Nike runners from this era, and the colors look as iconic as ever. This model shouldn't be confused with the Air Icarus Extra, which was slated for a retro in 2010 but never made it out of its sample phase.

According to Sneakrs.fr, both of these O.G. makeups should be dropping in February for around $116 apiece.
