Nike's Air Skylon II Sneaker Arrives in a Vibrantly Charged Colorway

— July 20, 2019 — Fashion
Nike introduces a new vibrant colorway for its signature Air Skylon II sneaker model for the season. The latest tonal option boasts a strong gradient hue throughout the design that features nuances of light blue and volt. The model originally made its debut back in the 80s and the retro look is retained with the elevation of premium materials.

The uppers are constructed from a blend of suede and mesh fabrication that arrive in a base of off-white. The fluorescent hues are seen all throughout the upper as well, specifically the tongue, the toe cap, and the sidewalls. The sides start with bright volt before fading into coral closer to the heel. The branding Swoosh is done in a bright orange hue with suede materials making up the paneling mudguard, heel, lace cage, and toe caps.
