These new Nike SF-AF1s bring a military-inspired edge to the bold high-top silhouette. The colorway that marks the sneakers is dubbed the 'Desert Camo' and has been used on many other Nike models in the past as well.
The majority of the uppers are constructed from leather, which is a light hue of khaki. Up the heels and ankles, a beige and brown camouflage pattern is featured, which breaks up the rest of the otherwise minimalist design while staying true to the utilitarian aesthetic.
On the ankles of the new Nike SF-AF1s are two different straps: one that has a unique woven design and another that's more basic, both can be adjusted to provide a snugger fit for the wearer.
