These [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summit-whitemetallic-silver) Air Force Shadow sneakers set themselves apart with a colorful signature Swoosh that includes added details—tiny charms that spell out "NIKE," plus an extra logo that looks like a cheery smiley face. The standout sneakers feature a pop of yellow color that makes them more playful than usual, plus the added [charm bracelet-inspired detail](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coach-1) adds an eye-catching and nostalgic detail to outfits.

Nike's sneakers are said to pay "homage to exemplary women who are the driving force in changing and shaping a better world. These sneakers reflect this ethos in their design with a [double Swoosh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treat-yourself-colorway)." The sneakers offer comfortable foam midsoles, although due to the inclusion of the charm, they're likely better suited to casual activities than intense physical ones.
