Nike Air Force 1 Shadow SE

These AF1 Shadow SE sneakers are covered in layered effects that bring the design a satisfying level of depth. The off-white sole unit comprises a grippy rubber outsole with circular tread patterns and an Air-cushioned midsole, which is where the layering begins. Around the lateral side of the heel, there is an extra mudguard with bold Air text embossed over it bridging the midsole and upper. A vibrant Team Orange graphic has been printed over the top and extends a little way around the heel, spilling onto the midsole and the upper in the process. Further forward, a light sky blue graphic moves along the centre of the midsole, before thinning out as it reaches the forefoot.

The upper is made of top-quality leather panels in Summit White, with stacking in the vamp, eyestay and heel. Two overlays wrap around each other in the forefoot to surround the toe box, while the eyestay includes a lower section in pale blue that can only be seen beneath the lateral side and lower edge of the white panel above it. The quarter and heel are also Summit White, providing the perfect background for the powerful Team Orange swooshes and heel panel that are laid over the top. Nike embroidery is sewn into the heel, and a second white panel emerges from underneath it.

Meanwhile, the tongue contains a duo of patches, one light blue with white branding, the other white with Team Orange branding. Dynamic Team Orange stitching zigzags around the edge of the tongue and its primary patch, and the bottom of the eyestay has AF1 lettering in this bold orange hue. Just above this is a light blue lace dubrae debossed with the same text. To round off this stylish sneaker, a black swoosh is printed over the top of a captivating graphic on the insole that shows off the shoe’s well-balanced colour palette.
