Although it wasn't long ago that Nike released another colorway of its 'Air Footscape Woven Silhouette,' the brand is now offering the opposite of its former rainbow edition with a pair of subdued linen sneakers.
The uppers of the shoes are completely covered with a light beige fabric, however the mono-toned colorway is granted more depth by the woven detailing that goes right through the center of the sides.
In addition to adding to the overall aesthetic of the linen sneakers, the woven detailing offers the feet more ventilation as well, while still maintaining a level of warmth. Countering the all-beige upper is a sleek white sole, which has the bottom of its heel accented with beige as well.
