# Iridescent Minimal Sneaker Updates Nike Details its Air Force 1 in a Reflective Colorway By Amy Duong | Published 2020-10-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflective-colorway References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2020/10/nike-air-force-1-reflective-dc2062-100-info) Nike details its iconic Air Force 1 sneaker model in a new Reflective colorway for the season following its recent drop of White and Obsidian. The sportswear giant gives the sneaker a predominantly minimal design throughout the base foundation before detailing with a unique coat. In the daylight, the design remains very minimal -- the top of the shoe has a tongue tag woven on with debossed branding. This design follows through to the heel counter as well with special contrasting accents found at the pink insole and the metal deubre. Additional details include the white lacing system. To round out the sneakers, the entire upper features a very slight subtle sheen to give it a reflective look during the nighttime.
