Nike Adds the Terminator Low to the "Sofvi" Collection

In its ever-expanding state, Nike has continuously approached new theme ideas to present its classic silhouettes in a fresh way. For the Swoosh, this involves both collaborating with artists, designers, franchises and more while also exploring concepts on its own. Looking ahead to the brand’s planned releases for 2023, one theme has quickly stood out with its unique approach to fusing footwear with familiar subjects. Landing first on the recently-revealed Air Max 1, the “Sofvi” theme connects Japanese vinyl toys to classic Nike sneakers.

Now, the Swoosh has revealed that the Terminator Low will be taking on the soft vinyl look in its own way. Its presentation sees the airbrush effect reach from the mudguard to the Swooshes, combining white and lime green. Matching the bright green hue, the typical “NIKE” heel branding returns alongside a complementary translucent outsole. White makes up a majority of the leather base while “Sail” chimes in at the midsole. Similar to the Air Max 1, thematic detailing hits the outsole, sockliner and special shoe box. Rounding things out, a glow-in-the-dark effect has been applied to the Swooshes, heel branding and outsole.

Nike has not announced any release details regarding the Terminator Low “Sofvi” and its accompanying pair(s). Stay tuned for more details as we expect the collection to launch in the coming months via Nike and select retailers.
