Nike introduces a new design iteration of the iconic Air Force 1 sneakers entitled 'Raygun' and it is full of bright hues. The shoe celebrates the fictional ABA basketball team that came into fruition in the early 2000s by Nike Basketball for a campaign.
This time around, the sneaker is constructed from leather materials throughout the upper in a premium pure white. It is then detailed with a black textile Swoosh on the side with a bright yellow frame and exposed stitching. The back of the shoe boasts a shiny tonal panel in orange and yellow. Additional branding can be seen on the back, the vamp, tongue tags, and insoles. Rounding out the shoe is the alien face basketball badge at the lateral heel.
