Nike is putting an obscure mid-2000s player exclusive on shelves. The Nike Zoom Huarache 2K4 "Sue Bird" PE (IW1884-100) releases July 24 for $200 through Nike Basketball retailers and the SNKRS app — the first time the shoe has ever been sold at retail, roughly 22 years after Nike originally made it for the Seattle Storm guard.
The design stays faithful to the PE Bird wore. A white leather upper is trimmed in Deep Forest green and Canyon Gold, the Storm's team colors, with her No. 10 stitched onto both heels and "BIRDY" embroidered along the collar. The Zoom Huarache 2K4 itself is a piece of Nike Basketball history — the same silhouette Kobe Bryant wore in 2004, before his signature line began.
Reviving a two-decade-old WNBA player exclusive is its own signal. Nike spent years leaving these PEs in the vault; putting Bird's on a retail calendar alongside its WNBA 30th-anniversary pack and a wave of new women's signatures treats the women's game's history as catalog worth selling, not just its present. It follows the Penny Hardaway Zoom Huarache 2K4 "Knicks" PE onto the 2026 release schedule as part of a broader 2K4 revival — but Bird's is the one that pulls a Hall of Fame WNBA career into the retro market.
