Double Tap to Zoom

The Nike Zoom Skylon 11 sneaker may be slept-on, but it gets stylish colorways that are anything but a snooze.

Take the newest "Black/Light Magenta" pairs, for instance. It's a mostly black sneaker with sprinkles of light pink and golden yellow accents. The verdict? It's a very good-looking Skylon sneaker.

It's kind of surprising that the Skylon 11 isn't as big as the Zoom Vomero 5, given they both have that retro tech-dadcore look and Air Zoom cushioning.

Although the Skylon 11 is more breathable, it possesses just as much swag as the reigning Swoosh dad shoe. Since returning to the market, the Skylon has appeared in a few solid colorways, including classic black and bold "Volt" options.

Maybe it just needs that one viral hit or celeb co-sign to take it to the next level. Then again, perhaps it's better as a best-kept Swoosh secret. Gatekeeping isn't such a bad thing when it comes to a shoe this good.
