The Nike First Sight Shadow “Light Crimson” takes a lot of its shape from the basketball shoes Nike was making in the late ’90s. The molded upper gives it a clear Foamposite feel, while the snug slip-on build brings some Huarache influence into the mix as well.

The First Sight series has been Nike’s way of playing around with performance footwear and pushing it in a more fashion-focused direction. Some pairs in the line borrow from running and track shoes, but the Shadow is much more rooted in basketball. The rounded shell, bulky shape and bootie-style entry all make that pretty obvious.

This “Light Crimson” pair keeps things simple with a red and black setup. Light Crimson covers most of the molded upper, while black shows up around the collar, outsole and several other sections. A small metallic Swoosh sits near the toe, and dotted detailing around the heel adds a little more texture without making the shoe feel too busy.

The Nike First Sight Shadow “Light Crimson” is expected to release in the coming weeks in women’s sizing for $145.
