Assuming you mean the current "Raspberry Red" offering of the Modern Buckle, I took a quick stab here..

Hero shot of RR MB on the left, concept of RR LL on the right. It's tough due to the leather texture and shading being so radically different, though.. but I tried :)

If they bright back ruby for a leather loop, I would not be mad. It’s such a toothsome classic buckle.

Looks really good! The one I was thinking about was the old Product RED modern buckle, I believe its the same colour as the current Product RED leather case

I’m pretty on board with these light colors contrasting with very vibrant colors. This one and Obsidian Mist/Hyper Turq have the same energy as Flat Silver/Volt which is an all time favorite.
I’m less convinced by the plausibility of the colors themselves than the fact that this shoe was made in the Ekiden colors last year, all four of them: hyper crimson, Neptune green, aurora green, and midnight turquoise. Do those ring a bell?

But maybe running shoes won’t be the inspiration this year and maybe this band shows in spring...there’s also a valerian colorway

Just excited for anything at this point!
 
Thanks for that quick yellow mock-up, really wasn’t thinking I’d get one. Most appreciated!
It’s Sunday, I have no bands left to buy...this is the equivalent of smoking resin left in a weed pipe. I tried orange and green and it’s predictably an unsightly mess. There’s def room for a burnt orange primary sport band but it needs a creamy neutral accent not green.

I'm in awe of the creative types here. Not just the Photoshop skills, but the vision to see it before it's actually created. My daughter is a graphics artist and her talents amaze me daily. My son and I are numbers guys. I can make an Excel spreadsheet sit up and do pet tricks. And I can fix things when they're broken. But creating something from an ideal? That's definitely not me. Even my stick figures are remedial.
 
No need to make another total orange mock-up...just want to leave this here as a very good sign...total AND spring 2020 hyper crimson AND my pick for a fall 2020 shoe-in flash crimson (or laser crimson)...this is the newest item in the catalog as of today...

We can only dream! You think they’d go vivid & bright for fall though?

Barely volt variation and then the Dead dunk yellow in two dark and light...I feel like the Dunk yellow is too close to sunshine loop and pollen nylon, better to green it up I think...they never really seem to share shades with Nike...
