The Nike Gato from 2010 Is Back in "Light Army"

Nike Football has been pushing product for the beautiful game since 1971. And while it continues to innovate for the pitch, the Swoosh division also has a long history of producing footwear for indoor courts and salas, winning players over with styles like the Gato.

Launched in 2010, the Nike Gato was one of the era's go-to silhouettes for those looking for a modern take on a heritage design. Reminiscent of the Tiempo once endorsed by the legendary Ronaldinho, the Gato featured mesh cutouts across the profiles and around the heel for improved breathability and a lighter package. Leather and suede construction also varied throughout uppers, with a newly-surfaced "Light Army" update taking on the latter material.

Like the recent slew of Total 90 III retros, the Cushlon foam midsole is accompanied by a "Gum Light Brown" outsole. An octagonal tread pattern delivers both a trendy look and performance benefits once co-signed by Nike SB.

Away from footwear for the beautiful game, the Swoosh has developed the G.T. Future, a modern basketball shoe inspired by early 2000s heritage.
