These Rave-Inspired Nike Air Force 1s Feature Glow-In-The-Dark Soles

On the topic of 1990s club/dancing scene, one simply can’t overlook rave culture. The whole aesthetic of the subculture is a neon-heavy mix of psychedelia and nursery school, with fully grown participants attending these underground gatherings rocking super-baggy parachute pants and pacifiers. It served as the precursor to the global EDM mania (or epidemic, depending on who you ask), as colorful festivals have popped up in every major city around the world while giving button-pushing DJs god-like status in the music industry.

Rave music is getting its rightful due as part of Olivia Kim’s five-shoe collaborative capsule, manifesting itself via royal blue corduroy uppers and neon yellow accents on the immortal Air Force 1. A hidden detail is the fully glow-in-the-dark sole – a nod to the glowing liquid encased in plastic tubes. A bit of Nike archival data is also implemented as the snakeskin finish on the tongue and heel were directly ported over from the Air Force 1 “Snakeskin” of 1996. A full gallery of official images is right ahead, so take a closer look and expect a release on November 8th on Nike SNKRS and select shops worldwide.
