The Next Nike Astra Ultra Brings "Bruce Lee" Energy

Low-profile sneakers are having a profound moment. From the Puma Speedcat to the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66, slim, race-inspired silhouettes have been dominating fashion runways and IG feeds alike. It’s no surprise, then, that Nike is throwing its hat into the ring with the newly-unveiled Astra Ultra — a modern lifestyle shoe that channels motorsport aesthetics through a Swoosh lens.

This upcoming colorway nods to one of the most recognizable palettes in pop culture: yellow, black, and gum. While it’s not officially linked to Bruce Lee or Kill Bill, the similarities are hard to ignore, especially when viewed alongside the classic Onitsuka Tiger worn in both. The Astra Ultra features bold, molded yellow uppers that ripple with aerodynamic paneling, paired with a stealthy black tongue and matching laces. A gum rubber outsole wraps the heel in a sculpted wave for added grip and visual flair, while sleek black Swooshes cap off the look.

With no release date currently locked in, the Nike Astra Ultra in this "Bruce Lee"-like scheme is expected to arrive sometime this fall via Nike.com.
