Before black, pink, and green became known as the "Yeezy" colorway, a combination of the hues already existed. Instead of being decked out on a pair of sneakers, though, the colors just naturally assembled in the sky. The radiant light display is a phenomenon ​known as aurora, and serves as the theme behind Premier's upcoming sneaker collaboration.

The Nike SB Dunk Low, appropriately nicknamed "Northern Lights," features a mostly black base to represent the night sky. The Swoosh and heel panels are even covered with 3M speckled detailing to serve as the stars. The lining is made up of shades of red and pink, which are colors typically spotted when aurora is present in higher altitudes. On the flip side, a vibrant green takes over the skies in lower altitude, which is represented on the glow-in-the-dark outsole of the Dunks. MIND BLOWN.

Stop calling them the "Yeezy" Dunks, and be sure to cop a pair when they drop next Saturday, November 22, at Premier.
