For years, the only way to get your hands on the Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 "Sue Bird" was to be WNBA legend Sue Bird. Now, Nike is pulling the player exclusive out of the vault and bringing it to retail for the first time this summer.
The throwback Nike release closely mirrors the same pair Bird wore while running the Seattle Storm's offense.
A crisp white upper blends synthetic leather with breathable mesh paneling. Forest green and golden yellow accents outline the midfoot Swoosh, collar padding, and heel counter, pulling directly from the Seattle jersey colorway.

History & Design Behind Nike's Signature Sue Bird Shoe
Nike originally designed the sneaker exclusively for the Storm point guard in the mid-2000s.
Bird spent all 21 of her WNBA seasons with the Seattle after going No. 1 overall in the 2002 WNBA Draft. She retired as the league's all-time leader in assists and wins, earning 13 All-Star selections and winning four WNBA titles. She added five Olympic gold medals before earning a Hall of Fame induction in 2025.
Bird sported the Huarache 2K4s during her first Olympic gold medal run and the Storm's first WNBA championship campaign. The shoes are currently captured in Bird's statue outside of Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena
The move both celebrates Bird's legacy and elevates women's hoops beyond the hardwood.
