For the warmer months ahead, Nike‘s classic Air Force 1 Low silhouette receives two bold makeovers in a “Cherry Red” and “Bright Volt” colorway.

The go-to sneaker’s usual premium leather upper gets traded in for patent, creating a clean sheen that’s hard to notice. Both pairs are then dressed with tonal Swooshes, laces, inner liner and Nike branding embroidered into the tongue and heel counter. Both the vibrant looks are than placed atop a signature white rubber midsole.

Both the “Cherry Red” and “Bright Volt” Nike Air Force 1 Lows are slated to drop soon at select Nike retailers. For more of the hottest sneakers, check out this week’s sneaker drops.
