Nike Quietly Dropped a ‘Reverse Neon’ AM95 At the MoMA Design Store

The lines between sneakers and art are ever-blurring, but the Swoosh’s latest release has brought one of their designer’s famed early sketches to life. As Beaverton continues to celebrate the legacy of the the company quietly previewed a ‘Reverse Neon’ colourway at an event at the MoMA Design Store in Soho last night.

Based on one of original drawings, the celebratory pair flips the classic gradient so that a darker grey cascades down the pair's panelling, fading with every layer towards a white midsole. Neon accents then hit the usual spots, including the eyelets, Swooshes and Air Bubbles. Unlike last year’s reversed ‘’ colourway, the ‘Reverse Neon’ arrives in a hairy suede construction, adding a slightly more artisan touch in line with the MoMA launch. The accompanying event also saw the Swoosh preview a short film by Ben Solomon that explored the cultural significance behind the AM95 silhouette.

Though pairs were available at the event as an early launch, current rumours suggest that these will see a wider release soon. Stay locked to Sneaker Freaker for more details!
