Will this run on StockX?
Feet novelties please
Feet novelties with uncut dirty nail would be great.
Think you guys are in the wrong place. /r/feet is next door
It looks really good! I like the colors.
However I am not a fan of the gradient as in my opinion there are a few inconsistencies.
1. Why is the up arrow in a different color? If you have it on a 65% or something it looks kinda odd, that it does not match the shift right next to it. I think arrows should be all the same color.
2. I would make num-enter N9 too, because it is in the same row as shift and bottom row and all of those mods are N9.
I would also like to see a 1.5U super and one more 1u alt.
GLWIC
I’ll buy 4 sets. Just run it now.
I know everyone wants to run a GMK set, myself included. However I think this set would fit a KAT set more.
With KAT you could make the whole keycap set gradient from top to bottom and this would fit the theme so well! In my opinion a gradient in the a mods with a GMK set is kinda odd and does not work as well as you think.
There is nothing wrong doing KAT, I think this would be perfect.
Thanks for the encouragement! Working on vendors right now. Most want to see what kind of traction you get on IC before committing, so remember to fill it in!
If you like sneakers, I have another set in the works!I’ll buy 4 sets. Just run it now.
Will this run on StockX?
That totally could be possible. Listed as a collectible. That would be a huge milestone for keycaps to go mainstream.
Make it happen!
Not a sneaker head, love the colors of the set and would buy but think it would be best if the mods didn't have the color shift. I get it's supposed to be the sole but the reduction down to 3 colors would probably help with pricing and a 3rd grey can only be so spicy.

If people already don't like how the aftermarket works now, the prevalence of botting, and seemingly impossible-to-win FCFS style sales, this would only exacerbate issues exponentially.
This layout for the IC is... familiar,
in all seriousness tho its no problem that u copied the Arch IC, I recommend removing the #s in the title since those were there because of the command line theme.
These colors remind me of the 918 spyder press car with its acid green accents. For that alone I'm totally in if these colors are final.
Not a fan of the gradient grays for mods - using the darkest one for mods seems like the best move
When I saw that the grays are doing a gradient thing, I went from really interested to not so much. I see, conceptually, why you'd want to do this. However, personally I think you could accomplish the same visual pop with only 2B and N9. Good luck with IC!
Now do Infrared and Persian then release it as a whole set.

Definitely won't be able to do 3 color combos in one set :-X don't think any vendor will take me that way. Infrared is in my todo-list. Persian I had to look up - is this a really popular colorway? never seen/heard of it before.not going to lie this is fire

I suppose it is popular among older heads or people who collect Air Maxes in general, the Air Max BW isn't quite as popular as 1's or 90's. For me it's more to do with it being one of the "OG Colourways" like Infrared for 90's and Neon for 95's:Show Image(https://stockx-360.imgix.net/Nike-Air-Max-BW-Persian-Violet-2016/Images/Nike-Air-Max-BW-Persian-Violet-2016/Lv2/img02.jpg?auto=format,compress&w=559&q=90&dpr=2&updated_at=1603481985)

Was thinking more strictly in terms of Air Max. If we're just going off popular Nike colorways, you would go with Bred or Chicago.
Probably derailing a bit too much - Neon looks real nice OP.
Actually sick set. My inner 14 year old scally self is loving this.
Please keep UK-ISO in base.
Damn this looks so sexy, great Job :thumb: !
I hoper there will be a North Kit with ISO support..
Now do Infrared and Persian then release it as a whole set.
i like the set but the colors... i get that the different tones of grey have a purpose but i think going with 3 color and not using both ral and pantone would be much easier, cheaper and not potentially introduce color matching issues for gmk.
UK ISO in the base kit is a deal maker for me. Love it a lot but I still think you should consider darker alphas, they are a little light for the green, IMHO of course.
Love the RAMA and nice work adding prototypist.
Colors are perfect but I wish the legends were solid dark grey or black

Do you mean you want the mods to be sold dark grey instead of gradient?

Honestly want to know what the copyright issues are? The fashion industry has basically zero IP protections except for trademark (hence why they plaster their logos everywhere). Is it the novelties? Does the OP make it seem like this set is endorsed by Nike?
Most vendors take a pretty strict stance on intellectual property and the respect it is owed, so these remarks are not something that vendors want to associate themselves with for both legal and ethical reasons.
In addition to the name, Nike has federally registered trade dress protection for the appearance of the Air Max 95. For the uninitiated, trade dress is a type of trademark law that extends to the distinctive “total image of a product,” and it “may include features such as size, shape, color or color combinations, texture, graphics or even particular sales techniques.

I'm pretty sure one of Nike's lawyers could basically ruin you just by raising an eyebrow if they wanted to. Maybe not putting GMK in this ankward position could be a smart move...
I wonder what the next step is going to be. I was going online to purchase and was hit with a 404 error. Had to hit up Cannon's Instagram to see what was going on. I understand the problem with selling it while the designers intentions are hazy with intent, but I guess I'm not sure of the trouble Cannon can receive by selling it. I just want this set...
To be very honest, I was very very surprised this even got to the GB phase.
In the get-go, it used infringing assets from Nike. The 95 & Air are all hard trademarked assets (https://www.gerbenlaw.com/trademarks/footwear/nike/#75975988), this isn't a matter of "gray area" from an East Asian animation studio. Nike can lift an eyebrow and the vendors, designers, and manufacturer (GMK/Rama/etc) all will get cease and desists.
More surprisingly is GMK accepting it considering their most recent stance, *especially* it being Nike.
Super unfortunate that this is happening, but honestly can't say I am in any way surprised.

Looking at what you've linked, I can't find a trademark for 95 and MAX specifically like the novelties. Most of nike's trademarks are under the goods and services classes for clothing and shoes etc. (my interpretation, not a lawyer) so this would not hold up in court very well. Recently, omnitype filed for 8008 under class 09 which contains computers and the like so it would extend to keyboards and keycaps, which would be the correct trademarks for something like this, a keycap set. All of nike's class 09 trademarks are for the nike logo and some other tech related things. Anyways, I agree with you. Nike's lawyers could stop this project real quick. Not worth it to fight a big corporation in court. I was concerned when I first saw this set because imo it relies too heavily on the inspiration and I would not be surprised if it infringed on IP (not hard to prove if it did). Just my take on the situation.

CK didn't drop the set because they perceive IP issues, they dropped the set because they designer said on ZFrontier that they want to violate Nike's copyright.
My take of the copyright/ trademark situation:MoreThe designer's comment on zf directly translates to "together infringe nike rights retaliation". The copyright part is only an assumption. I think that intellectual property fits better, since it also includes trademarks and patents etc. The designer added in a discord screenshot that they do not infringe upon any of nike's copyrights since the novelties don't contain anything that is trademarked by nike. As others have stated, nike does have a federally registered trade dress for the air max 95, or at least an article says so. However official that may sound, the novelties are not being advertised as the entire shoe, and the silhouette is too broad to be recognized as specifically the air max 95. The number "95" could possibly argued as a more legitimate case. Hard to prove that anyone will be mislead by this keyset for a pair of shoes. As with trademarks, they only extend as far as the category of products that they are filed under. Nike has the trademark for the air max shoes, but countless other air max trademarks exist for other categories. Nike could do serious damage in court, with or without a solid case. This is a lose situation if you aren't nike.
Apologise for the late response. Wanted some time to think before I comment, as rash knee jerk commenting got me in this situation in the first place.I think everyone's opinions here are exhausted and beaten to the ground so I won't comment on the controversy specifically any further.
Want to also apologise to all the people that wanted to get the set and all my vendors, especially Cannon. Cannon has been very supportive from the beginning, put in a lot of work to get it to GB and was even willing to transfer all their work to another potential lead vendor after deciding to pulling out.
Cannon made the right decision as my rash comments put all the vendors and I in possible legal exposure. No matter how small the actual exposure was, it was just not worth it and I am grateful Cannon made the right call.
I understand everyone will have their own opinion on the matter and I respect their right to their own opinion. I acknowledge I made rash and inappropriate comments trying to change the narrative away from my set and the Nike/cotton controversy through making comments on infringing on Nike when in reality I was not infringing on their IP. (ref: https://www.gerbenlaw.com/trademarks/footwear/nike/#75975988 thanks esc lab for posting this for anyone that wants to understand what nike's IP generally covers and why my design intentionally stays away from swoosh, nike and air) It was never my intention to infringe on Nike's IP and I made sure I didn't when I designed it. Thus I also owe Nike an apology for trying to deflect attention to them.
I apologise again to the people that wanted my set but my rash and narrow minded focus on hoping to save my creation "baby" from all the undue (nike/cotton) hate it was getting instead ironically led to its ultimate demise and them not being able to get it.
My primary objective now is to come up with a set to cater to people that have reached out to me through reddit and my discord in the past 24 hours telling me they still hope to get my set. For this to happen I have decided to abandon 95neon as it has too much legal baggage attached for it to succeed and I must go back to the drawing board.
My new set will have less association with air max 95 and not infringe on any of Nike's IP
I understand that for many people this might not be the set that they will want and from this whole debacle I have definitely learnt you can't change people's opinion. So instead of worrying about people who don't want my set, I'm going to instead put my focus on serving the people that want it as there is no way to please everyone (also learnt this the hard way this time).
I hope my new set will meet my design's supporters and the respective standard of each vendor I originally worked with so that we can get to a new GB.
Finally, regardless of whether it changes anything I believe I should apologise to anyone that I have caused distress to in anyway from this debacle as I wasted their time being distressed.
If anyone has any questions or issues please contact me directly. Learnt my lesson that its not possible to talk to many people at once on sensitive subjects.

I know it's cancelled already. Here's just a technical question about copyright/trademarks:
Is it possible for anyone to sell some product named "95 & Air"? Or just "95" or "Air"?
Is it only prohibited in the US? (or all other lands that the US has a good grip on their government)

I appreciate the attention to detail and the effort to make it stand out from other sets using neon yellow. The collaboration with RAMA for the keycap looks impressive, and the desk mats add a nice touch. It's great to see you've considered the global community by partnering with vendors from various regions. Overall, it's an exciting project, and I'm looking forward to joining your Discord to stay updated on this set and your upcoming work.
Sorry for bumping the thread, but I wanted to jump in and say that this GMK 95NEON set looks fantastic! I love the inspiration behind it, drawing from the iconic Nike Air Max 95 in the NEON colorway. It captures the essence of those iconic sneakers so well.
Update?
