Nike’s Bubbly Slip-On Sneaker Doesn’t Want to Fit In
Written by Morgan Smith13 hours ago in SneakersNikeNike'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.

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.
