The Beauty Beneath the Expressway: A Journey from Self to Service 
Nike’s Spring 2025 lineup features a fresh take on the Air Jordan 4 RM in “Prism Pink” and an innovative, textured Air Force 1 Low. These releases bring bold new elements, from cracked leather and gum soles to vivid pink accents, blending style with standout textures.
Nike Unveils Bold ‘Prism Pink’ Air Jordan 4 RM, Blending Cool Tones and Vivid Accents
Nike continues to make waves with its Air Jordan 4 RM line, a silhouette quickly gaining traction since its debut with Nigel Sylvester in July. Already offering over a dozen colorways, Nike’s design team in Beaverton is pushing creative boundaries with upcoming releases, including the vibrant “Prism Pink” edition.
Departing from the monochromatic approach that has characterized earlier Jordan 4 RM releases, the “Prism Pink” combines a cool-toned palette with bold accents. A platinum white base extends to the TPU cage at the quarter panel, tinted with “Ashen Slate” and further deepened with “Football Grey” on the mudguard and lace-stay. These subtle shades allow the accents to stand out vividly, with a vintage off-white painting of the sole and the namesake “Prism Pink,” adding a striking pop to the heel. The arrival of retailer images suggests a Spring 2025 release, with the pair expected to retail at around $150.
Nike Revitalizes the Air Force 1 Low with Cracked Leather, Gum Sole, and Bold ‘Hyper Pink’
In parallel, Nike is also breathing new life into its iconic Air Force 1 silhouette with the upcoming “Particle Beige” colorway, due in Spring 2025. This edition brings a unique, distressed texture to the leather overlays, which appear cracked and textured, resembling either Nike’s “Electric” safari print or ostrich leather at first glance. Paired with a “Light Brown Gum” sole and “Particle Beige” khaki upper, this shoe offers a balanced, everyday look. In contrast, the shoe features a “Hyper Pink” Swoosh and matching Nike Air logo on the heel, adding a burst of color against the otherwise neutral tones.
The Air Force 1 Low “Particle Beige” is slated to release in women’s sizing, with pricing likely around $135, though details are yet to be confirmed. The Jordan 4 RM “Prism Pink” and Air Force 1 Low “Particle Beige” are anticipated to bring fresh and distinctive aesthetics to Nike’s lineup, promising versatility and bold design elements for the spring season.
