Nike Air Force 1 Fontanka
"White & University Blue"
DH1290-101
The bulk of these AF1 Fontankas is decorated in bright Summit White, which makes for an elegant design. The entire sole unit is white, with a small rectangle of grooves in the midsole’s lateral forefoot continuing into the lugs of the outsole underneath. This grippy feature has been cut in two down the middle, leading to a slight misalignment of each half where the concentric circle tread patterns meet. Back on the midsole, a slice of React foam in University Blue stands out powerfully from the white in the heel around it, offering plush cushioning underfoot as well as aesthetic contrast.
Meanwhile, the upper brings together rebellious lines of stitching with leather overlays, a suede heel panel and doubled up eyestays. The suede of the heel panel is overlaid with two small leather patches on either edge that are attached via zigzag thread. The swooshes extending out from each side of the heel also have a second layer of leather along their lower periphery, creating added depth. The same can be said for the pair of eyestays. The top layer has been lifted slightly so that its tip sticks out above the uppermost eyelets, while the bottom layer reaches into the toe box, whose breathable perforations are arranged in a randomized fashion for a quirky touch. A piece of suede material emerges from between the two eyestays before a few final colorful highlights in the form of a trio of swooshes on the primary tongue above light blue Nike branding on the secondary tongue and the insole underneath round off this quality sneaker.
