Nike Astra Ultra 'Fauna Brown': A 3D Generative-AI Sneaker in Rusty Red, Sold Online

Nike has released a new colorway of the Astra Ultra called Fauna Brown/Black/Chambray Blue, style number FZ5778-200. The product page lists it under women's shoes. Nike presents the shoe as a way of bringing future forms to the next generation, and says it used 3D generative AI to explore shape and style.

The upper is quilted, with rippling design lines that Nike says give a sleek look and a plush feel. The silhouette is low and slim, and it takes cues from traditional football boots. The asymmetrical lacing, in velvet, is described as a nod to the brand's football roots. Other listed details are metallic accents, pull tabs and a rubber outsole.

Highsnobiety describes the colorway as dusted in rustic red and says the shoe nods to Nike's retro Total 90 football series. According to the publication, generative AI helped construct the wavy traction outsole, which is dotted with small rubber nubs. The product photos show that detail clearly: the black sole carries fine, wave-like ridges along its sidewall, set against the rust-toned quilted leather-look upper and a pale blue Swoosh.

The price is $190, and the shoe is sold through Nike's website. The product page we drew on is Nike's Australian site, where members get free standard delivery on orders over $80, express delivery is $14.95, and standard returns are free for members with some exclusions. The release date in our listing is October 15, 2026, and Highsnobiety's piece ran about a week before this writing.

For Japanese readers, the shoe is a reminder of how Nike keeps drawing on its football lineage: Total 90 is a well-known name from the football-boot world. Here that history is combined with AI-assisted form-making in a fashion-leaning sneaker. There is no physical address, since this is an online release.
