Nike has dipped its signature Air Force 1 silhouette in a series of chocolate-colored shades for the fall season. The shoe boasts ‘Cacao Wow’ tumbled leather uppers that are accentuated by ‘Pale Ivory’ across the Swooshes and heel tabs. The sneakers are crafted using tartan fabrics across the collars and heel counters, while a dark chocolate shade decorates the heel tab embroidery and the tongue tags. A plaid design covers the back half of the shoe, and the unit rests on a ‘Sail’ midsole and caramel outsole.
The new Nike Air Force 1 Lows in the new chocolate brown and plaid colorway arrives in the coming months via Nike and select retailers. The sneakers are expected to retail for $130 USD.
