FALL FOOTWEAR STYLE GUIDEWITH THREE NIKE CLASSICSTHAT YOU NEED THIS SEASON

With September comes a new month — and season — of head-to-toe looks to adjust to the changing climates and scenes. Whether you’re hitting campus for the first time or you’re speed-walking from one runway show to the next at New York Fashion Week, comfortable and stylish footwear is simply a non-negotiable regardless of your setting.

With Nike, there’s an endless supply of all-time classics that have undeniable range when it comes to completing the ‘fit. If you’re dressing down with sweats with the simple goal of making it to your 8:00 AM lecture, or you’re looking for the right amount of sportiness or mix-and-match contrast to match your OOTD, let us present you with some of the best options that are available right now directly from Nike.

The Air Force 1, Zoom Vomero 5, and Killshot 2 need no introduction. If you’re already on game, chances are you have at least one of each in the rotation. If you’ve yet to add these to the rotation, no better time than now.

What else needs to be said about the Air Force 1? With roots dating back to 1982, this icon ushered in new style and innovative performance to the game of basketball. In just a few short years, it spilled into casual wear, becoming the most street-valid basketball shoe of all-time. There are plenty of options for both men and women in a variety of color-blocking styles and material make-ups. The women’s “Dragon Red” keeps to a team-friendly white-on-tone, the “Phantom/Gym Red” gets flashy with the color-blocking style, and the “Armory Navy” has that quality that throw back to that cherished early-2000s era of Forces.

The “tech runner” trend still persists, and the Zoom Vomero 5 is a major reason why. First returning to stores in 2019, Nike and the long-distance runner helped popularize the fad of wearing performance running footwear from the 2000s as a fashion statement. Now, Nike has a deep library of colorways of the Vomero 5, so not being able to find the right one is near impossible. Get on the wave and cop one of the most comfortable daily-wear shoes on the market now.

The Killshot 2 has its own unique following, gaining popularity in the 2010s as a stylish tennis shoe option. Beloved for its simplicity and versatility, the Killshot 2 was at the forefront of the low-profile, slimmer fitting look. It’s got the look, it’s got the sport heritage, and now there’s the variety; you can opt for a tonal sole, or stick with the gum bottoms for that iconic tennis-inspired look from the 1980s.
