Nike Air Force 1 Low

The dichromatic construction of this Nike Air Force 1 gives it an elegant aesthetic. Black and white are the two classic tones that have been used to craft this sneaker, the former adding highlights to an upper that mostly comes in the latter hue. Its tumbled leather exterior is separated into a series of white panels, with overlays in the forefoot and rear alongside recessed segments in the midfoot and toe box. These last two parts have ventilation holes for a cooling effect inside the shoe.

Over the top of the foot, a white eyestay with wavy edges encircles a white canvas tongue with black Nike Air branding on a label at its peak. On the insole, the same pairing occurs, as black text sits over a white background. Stretchy white mesh surrounds this on the inner lining before the heel panel switches to black once more. This feature is embroidered with white Nike Air lettering and also connects to a black swoosh on each side. These Nike logos reach away from the heel down each of the sneaker’s flanks, working with the heel panel to create a powerful band of black around its back and sides.

Meanwhile, underfoot, a white sole unit offers durability, stability and comfort in equal measure. Its use of tough rubber provides the first characteristic and the pivot-circle grip patterns on its outsole the second. The third and final trait comes from the mixture of Air and foam cushioning that fills the midsole, thus topping off a shoe that is the complete package.
