Fall has officially begun, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to stash all your bright colors away and switch to a toned down palette. In fact, colorful kicks can work well throughout autumn by functioning as the statement piece in an otherwise subtle 'fit. If you're looking to spice things up — and we definitely don't mean pumpkin spice — check out these Air Prestos that just dropped last weekend.

Donning an original "Island Blue" colorway, this Air Presto has just the right amount of flair without being too gaudy. It's built with a stretch mesh upper and features molded overlays for support, while a soft phylon cushions the ride. The result is one of Nike's most groundbreaking designs of the 2000s era, one that has established itself as something of a cult classic throughout the years and developed quite a following in the process.

It's not often that an O.G. Air Presto colorway is still available through its release weekend, so don't sleep on these. They're still available straight from Nikestore online for $120, but they won't last long.
