Some things don’t just come back — they never really left.
There’s a beautiful paradox in the phrase “Back to the Future.”
It’s about returning to the past to shape what’s next — a journey through time to protect the things worth keeping. And that’s exactly what’s happening as we bring back the Tretorn Nylite, the sneaker that defined an era and still feels right at home today.
A Step Back in Time
Before “minimalist” was a trend, it was a lifestyle. The Tretorn Nylite was quite the icon of the ‘90s — worn by college students, artists, and weekend wanderers who loved its simplicity and ease of use.
When we announced its comeback, the stories came pouring in:
Those memories remind us why the Nylite mattered. It wasn’t about hype; it was about heritage—a symbol of effortless cool, woven into everyday life.
But the story didn’t stop there. As trends cycled back around, Tretorn found a new generation of fans. From college athletes and dance teams to celebrities spotted in their Nylites between gigs and on city streets, the late 2010s saw the start of a quiet resurgence.
In 2018–2019, Tretorns showed up courtside, backstage, and across social feeds — proof that classics never really fade, they just wait for the right time to shine again.
Fast Forward to Now
So, what happens when a classic returns to a new world? It evolves — gracefully.
The new Nylite keeps the same timeless silhouette that made it iconic, now refreshed with modern craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and unmistakable Scandinavian simplicity. This season’s lineup comes in three variations: the Nylite, a casual staple crafted in premium canvas for everyday wear; the Nylite Plus, a sleeker option made from heavy canvas or suede; and the Cam, a laid-back interpretation of the Nylite, crafted in premium suede and designed for life on the go—easy to wear, effortlessly comfortable, and always versatile.
At its heart still stands the Gullwing — Tretorn’s trademark.
A symbol of timelessness and a rich heritage that’s weathered every trend.
Style Travels in Loops, Not Lines
Trends fade, but authenticity always circles back, and the Nylite’s return proves that true classics never lose relevance. This revival isn’t about nostalgia; it’s about moving forward by honoring what worked then and still works now. The future of style looks a lot like the past: classic, clean, and effortlessly cool. So here’s your cue to step back in and step forward with the Tretorn Nylite, because some legends deserve another round.
