Warmer weather is fast approaching, and [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn-1) is celebrating the fact by releasing the Nike Spring/Summer 'Sunset' Pack.

The collection, which includes both apparel and footwear, features a warm color palette that was inspired by the summer sun. Several classic footwear silhouettes are included in the sunset pack, which features [gradient designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-bubble-sundial) that mimic the colors of the sun as it lowers behind the horizon. These silhouettes include reworked versions of the Nike Roche Run NM, Nike Pegasus 83 and the Nike [Air Max 90](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-90-1), among others.

The footwear is accompanied by a Lightweight Windrunner jacket that is the piece that sticks closest to the inspiration, featuring a color gradient that's consistent with the sunset throughout.
