Nike has added to its seasonal releases with a new sneaker model that's said to be a part of its Rivals Pack, with the statement model featuring a vivid electric blue colorway called Neon Royal that has a sleek glossy finish to it.
The sneakers have slightly padded uppers that are said to take inspiration from the brand's popular Foamposite model, which are only accented by the glossy blue material that covers them.
Providing some contrast to this are black mesh accents, which are included on the tongues of the sneakers, as well as the toes and heels. Finishing off the design are classic white soles that have a hint of black on the sides to tie the colorway together.
