Paint-Splashed Sneaker Soles

Nike's 'March Madness' Boasts a Monochromatic Design with a Twist

— March 14, 2018 — Fashion
Nike released a shoe silhouette, which highlights the color-splashed motif on the sneaker soles. The PG 2 TS NCAA 'March Madness' is a design that is directly inspired by the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament.

The sneaker silhouette comes in all-white with black detailing near the toe box and a sizeable Nike swoosh. The PG 2 TS NCAA March Madness entertains a breathable and comfortable design that ensures the wearer is never overheated or plagued by callouses. The shoe is perfect for light activity due to its supportive base. However, the exceptional aesthetic comes from the design of the sneaker soles. Due to the monochromatic mesh upper, the splash of color on the bottom of the shoe ever-so-slightly stands out. Through this shoe design, Nike created an all-style fitting shoe with a memorable silhouette.
