Nike’s Silver First Sight Shadow Is a Natural-Born Stunner

Nike’s First Sight Shadow sneaker was born to stand out, not fit in with the other sportswear models on the market. As a Foamposite-flavored slip-on, it naturally turns heads. In “Metallic Silver,” the First Sight Shadow really shines bright.

The model’s molded upper gets coated in the silver, including those alien-level bubbles on the side. Meanwhile, the basketball-style outsoles appear in an icy blue.

It’s the second colorway to come from the model’s debut. Earlier this month, the First Sight Shadow crept into the scene in all-black. But even with the lights off, the otherworldly slip-on sneaker couldn’t be ignored.

The Shadow is one of three models from Nike’s First Sight collection, an offering of futuristic sneakers designed to, as Nike puts it, “push athletic style into new realms.” The First Sight Noir, inspired by classic track spikes, takes running to razor-sharp heights. Meanwhile, the Mirage is a soccer cleat mashed with Oxford shoes, sprinkled with a little bit of drama (a lot of it, really).

And the Shadow is Nike’s basketball heritage made easy, to put it simply. But the model itself is anything but simple.

For those looking to cop, the “Metallic Silver” pairs are now available on Nike’s website for $145.
