Warmer weather is fast approaching, and Nike 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 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, 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.
