Off-White works in collaboration with Nike on a new green colorway of the collaborative Air Force 1 Low sneaker model for the season. The vibrant look details the entire silhouette with the exception of the Nike logo on the lateral side of the sneaker and additional branding details.
The highlighter green makes up the upper with a premium leather material and is then accented with metallic foil at the aforementioned midfoot Swoosh detail. Additionally, there is the exposed stitching and has "NIKE AIR" embroidered on the back of the shoe. There are also the iconic SHOELACES on the laces and the zip-tie tag as a nod to the streetwear label. Rounding out the shoe is the white 'AIR' text on the midsole.
