Nike Launches a New Air Force 1 High in a Classics Colorway
Nike prepares to celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop with a Classics colorway palette that details one of its most signature silhouettes, the Air Force 1 High model. The shoe is made from classic leather material throughout the upper in a monochromatic palette. Throughput the silhouette, the shoe is detailed with black, cement grey, coconut milk, and white.
It starts off with a black base foundation at the upper and then the panels are done in a spray-painted white tone along with a cement grey-speckled look. To add more tonal contrast, the Swoosh branding on the side of the shoe is done in white, continuing at the laces and the strap around the ankle. It all sits on top of a rubber black outsole and coconut milk midsole.
