As much as I love fall, there's one thing I never look forward to: losing daylight.
Especially for runners, every hour (and minute) of light counts. Luckily, as daylight hours shrink heading into fall, Skechers is offering runners a cool way to stand out on the road after sunset.
The brand's new Aero Glow in the Dark Series gives two of its popular performance running shoes a glow-up, quite literally. The Skechers Aero Spark SI and Skechers Aero Burst SI now feature glow-in-the-dark outsoles designed to light up once the sun goes down.
And honestly? They couldn't have arrived at a better time.

If you prefer a lightweight running shoe with a responsive feel, the Aero Spark SI is the model worth considering.
The shoe features a sleek silhouette, performance-focused cushioning and Skechers' Hands Free Slip-ins technology, which means you can step into the shoe without bending down to adjust the heel. The new glow-in-the-dark outsole treatment adds a playful detail that becomes visible after sunset.
For runners who like versatile trainers that transition easily from workouts to everyday wear, this is probably the standout style of the pair.

The Aero Burst SI takes a more cushioned approach.
Designed with comfort-focused daily miles in mind, the shoe combines a modern running-shoe profile with the brand's signature cushioning technologies. Like the Spark SI, it now gets the glow-in-the-dark outsole upgrade, making it especially fun for evening runs and seasonal workouts.
If comfort is your priority, this is the pair I'd gravitate toward first.
Why runners might actually want glow-in-the-dark shoes
Glow-in-the-dark sneakers are undeniably fun, but they're also arriving during a season when more runners find themselves logging miles in low-light conditions.
Whether you're heading out before sunrise, fitting in a workout after work or walking home after a running-club meet-up, these shoes add an eye-catching element to your routine. According to Skechers, the glow effect charges through either natural sunlight or artificial light, so all you need to do is leave them exposed to light before heading out.
It's also a refreshing alternative to the sea of black-and-neon running gear that tends to dominate fall training season.
