Nike is planning a new colorway for Air Force 1 in the first month of 2021, we are talking about the 'Rayguns' colorway. This is not the first time we have seen a 'Rayguns' colourway…
Earlier, Nike also released the 'Rayguns' colorway on other models. For example, in 2005 we saw the well known Nike SB Dunk Low 'Rayguns' appear and it was very popular. At the moment you even pay hundreds of euros to get a pair through StockX. In 2018 we also saw the 'Raygun' colorway appear in a very limited edition on the Kyrie 3 model. This was because Kyrie Irving is a big fan of skateboarding. Last year we saw a white and a black version of the 'Raygun' colorway appear on the SB Dunk low, as a tribute to Sandy Bodecker, because he was regularly spotted in a 'Rayguns' jumper.
What exactly is 'Raygun'? For the SB Dunk Low release in 2005, Nike released a commercial featuring a fictional basketball team called Roswell Rayguns. The team travelled all over the US and defeated all its opponents with big numbers. The colorway of the SB Dunk Low was inspired by the outfit of the basketball team.
