Talks about college campuses fully opening for Fall 2021 could mean hope for a safe return to college sports games in the near future. While this is still up in the air, Nike is continuing to embrace school spirit via its footwear releases. Case in point: an upcoming orange and white Air Force 1 Pixel alluding to no other than Syracuse University.
Unlike most of the women’s-exclusive’s previous offerings, the white uppers of this pair flaunt a pebbled texture, rather than smooth. Elsewhere, the model experiments with glossy finishes. The inverted side Swoosh seems to be composed of a soft orange underlay that is topped with a clear, vinyl element. Another high-shine detail is the heel tab, which opts for a richer orange that’s truer to that repped by Syracuse. The lace dubrae and tongue label feature the aforementioned colors to further offset the clean, white base. Rounding out the design is the Pixel’s signature distorted sole unit, where two blocks of the team color are found.
Get a closer look at the Air Force 1-variant below as you wait for the pair to drop at Nike.com in the coming months for $110.
