Air Force 1 Low "Rayguns" CU8070 100

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Rayguns” is a January 2021 release from Nike’s “Rayguns” collection of sneakers and apparel that salute the fictional ‘70s basketball team. The Roswell Rayguns were a fictitious basketball team created in 2002 by Nike for a memorable television commercial that aired during the NBA Playoffs that year. The Rayguns, based loosely on various funky ABA basketball teams, have informed several SB Dunks and the theme was used on the Nike Kyrie 3 in 2018, as well. Here, Nike places white leather across most of the upper. A black canvas Swoosh with mustard yellow accenting resides on either side. The latter half of the upper is finished off in the same sturdy material, this time in orange, in reference to the Rayguns’ team uniform colors. The Rayguns’ basketball logo is embroidered on the lateral side of the heel below the yellow canvas overlay containing “Nike Air” branding. Black shoe laces are layered over a white mesh tongue that mimics the look of a basketball jersey. An orange overlay with additional Nike insignia graces the top of the tongue. A black liner combines with a tonal “Air” logo on the heel of the white midsole to complete the look. Release date: January 2, 2021.
