Jasmine Tang Although the classic look of a triple-white Nike Air Force 1 will never go out of style, colorful and distorted takes on the timeless silhouette are very much appreciated and even demanded. The Swoosh continues its slew of trendy iterations of the AF 1 by delivering the women’s -exclusive Nike Air Force 1 Shadow in a muted outfitting that incorporates just a hit of bold tones.
The pair starts with a white smooth leather upper and sees its tumbled leather overlays in a grey, near-white shade. A muted green dubbed “Jade Smoke” tints the profile Swooshesand branded elements such as the tongue label and heel tab. Distinguishing itself from other AF 1 Shadow releases, the “Jade Smoke” layer on the heel tab opts for a metallic finish to add some luster to the design. Furthermore, the vibrant “Archeo Pink” is added into the mix by tinting the “nike” embroidery on the heel and details on the tongue. An “AIR”-branded rubber strip above the standard white midsole adds the final touch of pink to the classic-meets-modern style.
