From luxury picks to more mismatched silhouettes, sneakers designed specifically for women are turning the heads of many sneakerheads.

Putting together some more feminine colors with the rugged silhouette of the Air Force 1 has given birth to the Nike Air Force 1 Shadow Arctic Punch Barely Volt.

The Nike Swooshes double up in yellow and green, the overlays appear in light orange with yellow and green layering below them, and the heel tab overlay doubles up in green and black. Even the Air branding on the lateral side of the shoe appears once in black and then in pink and yellow. A pink color adorns a majority of the midfoot of the sneaker, while the laces come in white.

The entire upper is made out of white leather with just a splash of black at the back. The large midsole and outsole of the shoe are made of the same color, giving it a nice contrasting two-tone look. The laces of the shoe also match the top of the shoe. When it comes to branding, you can see the Alexander McQueen logo on the top of the tongue and behind the shoe on the heel counter.

The upper is made of a grey knit material, the tongue comes with a neon finish towards the top. This neon color also appears on a large overlay on the heel counter, as well as the back of the heel collar. There are two orange pull-out tabs sit on the heel tab and the tongue, while white laces sit on top of a grey tongue. More colors appear in the form of the Nike Swooshes that appear in pink with an orange outline.

The upper comes in a stark white color, with overlays present around the eyelets and heading towards the midsole. The midsole is completely white in color as well and is covered by a bright orange outsole. This gives the shoe the distinct feeling of a pool of white sitting on an orange base. A splash of orange also appears in the middle of the white tongue of the shoe, balancing out its look. Another aspect to notice about the sneaker is that the outsole sticks up from the front and the back, giving the sneaker a stable base.
