What: Footwear for summer’s competitions

USP: A gradient fusion of Nike volt and hyper-punch pink, the unlimited colourway adorns the uppers of the season’s footwear, including all of its track and field silhouettes. Volt, the company’s celebrated bright yellow hue, defines the toe, immediately catching the eye — yellow is the most visible colour to the human eye and volt is the most visible version of yellow, which means it makes a statement. In the case of Nike, that statement is speed. Hyper-punch pink, when mixed with volt at the mid-foot and saturating as it approaches the heel, mimics the optic blur of a breakneck runner.

It also harmoniously pairs with the footwear’s metallic spike plates, which feature an iridescent flash that shimmers silver, purple and blue. In motion, these brilliant colours appear to paint a subtle glowing path, representing not only its wearer’s unlimited athletic abilities but also the way in which Nike views the world: bursting with unlimited inspiration and design possibilities.
