Nike introduces its classic Gamma Force sneaker model in a new minimal colorway palette of black and white. The newly launched shoe boasts versatile themes and is inspired by the brand's 80s basketball designs. The latest update starts off with a clean white base foundation and is then detailed with black hues as the finer accents for contrast.
In terms of construction, it is made from leather around the base and then sees mesh around the lining and collars to add some breathability. The Gamma Force silhouette also has touches of suede fabrics that are seen along the mid-panel underlay sections. Rounding out the shoe are the custom Swoosh and branding on the heel, tongue, and lateral side of the sneaker.
