Nike Air Force 1 Luxe

The balance of colours on these Air Force 1 Luxe sneakers is full of style, creating a desirable pair of shoes. The Cave Stone rubber outsole has three grip formations which provide supreme stability underfoot. The first is the solid lugs spaced out around its edges, the second the star-shaped dimples in the toe and heel, the last several diamond-shaped rows of zigzag lines across the bottom. Above this lies another supportive layer in the form of a Provence Purple midsole with bold Air lettering on its lateral heel alongside a stitched groove around its top edge.

Meanwhile, the upper is constructed of smooth suede overlays in a silvery grey tone with mild brush marks that give it a slightly cloudy appearance. More textured suede makes up the Provence Purple eyestay and the Cave Stone heel panel, which has a swoosh sunken into it along with a pair of stitches looping over its bottom edge. These connect to a further strip of suede that runs down the heel in Provence Purple. This graceful lilac tone returns on the top layer of the swooshes, each of which has a second swoosh stacked underneath it in Cave Stone. More pairs of stitches can be seen round their edges, and the borders of the overlays are held down with precisely sewn lines. Cave Stone highlights the embroidered swoosh in the foot of the eyestay as well as the reinforced topmost eyelets and the branding on the insole, before a final nod to the brand occurs on the tongue, which is embossed with the word “Nike”.
