Though we are moving into the colder months and with that often comes more neutral or monotone fashions, these [iridescent sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copper-egg) available from NIKEiD can brighten up any fall wardrobe. For non-sneakerheads, NIKEiD is a custom shoe service that allows users to choose the material, style and pattern they'd like for their personalized shoe purchase. Inviting consumers to be a part of the production process, the extended options mean [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olive-flak) customers always leave happy.

Since the Nike [Air Force 1](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-pearl-colorway) is such a popular shoe, Nike decided to make it available in an iridescent colorway. Reminiscent of step-sensing light-up shoes, these are a modern and mature take on a childhood favorite.
