GMK 95NEON: Representing streetwear and pop culture
with keyboards
Geekhack Community, I’m Edwyn and GMK 95NEON is my
first keyset. This set is inspired by one of my favorite
sneakers in its
original (and best?) colorway: Nike Air
Max 95 in Neon. After the success of the shoe, the Neon
colorway, also known as volt,
is now one of the most
popular colorways in sports and I want to bring it to the
keyboard community.
Just like when it was created in
the 90s, the Neon colorway evokes a sense of the future and
speed, something that I feel matches
with the keyboard
niche. It was a challenge to faithfully replicate the shoe
into a keycap set as the NEON colorway itself has gone
through
many tweaks of its own during its 25+ year lifetime and
capturing the grey gradient was also not easy.
I hope
my my rendition does the shoe justice and delights fellow
sneakerheads and 90s kids.
Want to get real time
updates on this set or upcoming sets I am working on?

GMK 95NEON Inspiration
The Nike Air Max 95 in the
original and now iconic NEON color way
Made immortal in hiphop by Jay-Z
This colorway was so popular that after its
original 1995 appearance, it reappeared in 1997, 1998,
1999, 2003, 2006, 2008, 2010,
2012, 2015 and 2020

GMK 95NEON Colors
Choosing colors was the biggest
challenge for this set as I had specific colors in mind but
needed to balance that with potential
color matching
issues with GMK. The volt color was the biggest challenge as
this color has been tweaked by Nike as the model evolved.
Although
to be most faithful it would have been to choose a pure neon
yellow but I decided to go with a greenish yellow instead
as
that was the feel of the promotional images of the shoe and
would also be further away from other sets that have use
neon yellow before
such as GMK Toxic and GMK Grand
Prix. To achieve this color I had to use the pantone color
set as RAL just did not have any color near
in it, in
neither RAL classic nor RAL design.
With the volt color
selected I tried to use as much of the GMK colors as
possible to
simplify future color matching. The dark
and the light grey are from GMK but I had to use RAL classic
to find a suitable medium
grey to complete the
gradient.
