Metallic Silver · CN0149-001
The Nike P-6000 in Metallic Silver (CN0149-001) is one of the defining colorways of the model's late-2010s revival, a runner originally rooted in Nike's early-2000s "tuned" running heritage. As part of Nike Sportswear's broader dad-shoe resurgence alongside models like the Air Max 95 and Air Monarch, the P-6000 was reissued to tap into a growing appetite for chunky, technical-looking retro runners. The Metallic Silver iteration became something of a poster child for that moment, dressing the shoe's layered mesh and synthetic overlays in a full metallic silver upper, offset by black detailing and a translucent icy outsole that echoed early running tech aesthetics. Its shiny, almost futuristic finish made it an easy favorite for streetwear stylists and fashion-forward sneakerheads embracing the "ugly shoe" trend popularized by brands like Balenciaga. Retailing at an accessible price point, well under most premium collabs, it sold steadily through Nike's own channels and skate/streetwear retailers. While not tied to a specific designer collaboration, the Metallic Silver P-6000 remains a benchmark colorway for the silhouette, frequently cited when discussing the shoe's late-2010s breakout.
