Nike Air Force 1 '07

This dichromatic pair of Air Force 1 ‘07s comes in a classic combination of black and white that gives it effortless style. Underfoot, the sole unit is completely white, with circular tread arrangements providing sturdy grip and an Air-cushioned midsole offering a soft step. Embossed Air lettering adorns the lateral heel of the midsole, which has a satisfyingly dappled surface for added textural variation.

The upper is also largely white, including through the tumbled leather of the forefoot and heel overlays, the eyestay and the toe box. This last section is decorated with perforations that spread out in straight lines towards the front of the foot, creating an interesting aesthetic alongside breathability. Just above the toe box is a white lace lock with AF1 lettering sunken into it. This blends in with the white laces it secures and the similarly coloured tongue behind, before a bold black tongue patch brings a dynamic contrast to the design. White Nike Air text stands out against this dark surface, an effect which is repeated on the inside of the shoe, where the black insole has been printed with white branding.

While a soft white mesh wraps around the sneaker’s inner lining, a powerful shade of black returns on the smooth leather of the swooshes that stretch down its flanks. These logos meet at the heel, where they disappear underneath either side of a black leather panel. On top of this, the last striking contrast appears in the form of the white Nike Air branding that is debossed into its surface.
