Switching it up a bit and making great use of bright, highlighter-like colors, Nike is planning to release a “Neon Pack” which consists of two pairs of the classic Dunk High. It is quite obvious how this pack got its name, with beaming, fluorescent orange and yellow colors being used on the sneaker’s nylon uppers. These kicks are definitely head-turners and are finished off nicely with white midsoles and gum bottoms. Expect the pack to drop sometime during April of next year. via Vagant
