History remembers 1980s fashion as being dominated by day-glo colors and outrageous styles of all sorts, but Nike didn’t make sneakers quite like this a quarter-century ago. A model like this new Nike Sky Force 88 Mid TXT is still an eye-grabber by today’s standards, but it might have caused a riot back in the day with this all-over tennis ball look. A colorblocking pattern that’s distinctly 2012 on this classic silhouette done in a shade that’s a perfect fit of both eras, this new Sky Force 88 should arrive in stores soon and is available early from ID4Shoes on eBay.
