Skeletal-Themed Contrasting Sneakers

Nike Gives its Air Force 1 a Vibrant Skeleton Update Design

Just in time for the Halloween season, sportswear label Nike introduces a new skeleton update of the iconic Air Force 1 sneaker model. This season, the design boasts a strong contrast design as the base foundation is complete in a bright orange hue informed by leather materials.

It is then printed with a graphic of a foot's bones to represent the look of an x-ray visual. This is done in black to stand out starkly against the orange foundation, following through to the black tongue tag and heel tab as well. A closer look at the tongue tag will showcase that Nike is spelled out in small bones for a festively themed branding detail. Rounding out the sneakers are a creamy midsole hue.
