Nike Air Force 1 Shadow

This AF1 Shadow features a dynamic design that is forged by various layered effects. Many of these layers come either in white or one of a selection of off-white tones, leading to subtle shifts in color across the sneaker. The lightest of these is Sail, while Pearl White has a slightly beige tint to it and Light Silver is infused with a hint of gray. These hues run through the sole unit, whose size has been increased for an exaggerated look, before moving up into the primary forefoot mudguard and the extra strip of material wrapped around the heel. This is embossed with Citron Tint Air lettering to reflect the off-white text on the midsole below.

White tones also highlight the toe box and the midfoot, the former being decorated with a linear formation of perforations. The top eyestay has an off-white tone as well, while the secondary layer is Citron Tint. This soft yellow returns on the AF1 lettering sunken into the end of the eyestay, as well as the medial swoosh, the lower heel panel and the secondary swoosh on the lateral side, which is overlaid with another swoosh in light pastel turquoise. At the back, the primary swoosh connects to the top of the upper heel panel, which comes in the same green tone and has Nike text embroidered into it. The rear overlay sports a gentle shade of pink to round out the suite of calming colors that covers this shoe.

Elsewhere, further layering occurs, firstly via a pair of patches on the tongue, one with Nike Air branding on top of a gray background, the either yellow on white. The insole continues this theme, with two sets of Nike Air text in yellow and gray green against an off-white backdrop. Lastly, an eye-catching matte yellow lace dubrae sits at the bottom of the white laces for a bold, colorful finish.
