Nike Air Force 1 Shadow

This pair of Nike Air Force 1 Shadows exhibits an array of bold colours beside lighter tones for a powerful look. The sole unit includes two different hues – off-white through the central tread of the outsole and the Air midsole, along with a light tan colour on the lugs and star shapes that encircle the rim of the outsole. On the lateral heel of the midsole, capitalised Air lettering is embossed between a pair of raised lines, above which a solid blue rubber panel with the same text wraps around the back of the foot.

Moving upwards again, the rear overlay of the shoe is a rich burgundy tone called Team Red. This strong colour also appears around the sneaker’s soft inner lining, the edge of the tongue and the primary tongue patch. Blue Nike Air lettering is sewn into this last element, while underneath, part of another patch can be seen in off-white with light red branding. Through the rest of the upper, panels of premium-quality leather switch between Light Soft Pink and Fossil Stone. The former colour fills out the primary forefoot mudguard, eyestay and midfoot panels, before the latter shows up on the secondary forefoot overlay and the main body of the tongue.

From there, more blues and reds complete the rest of the design. Firstly, the secondary eyestay, which can only be seen in the thin slither of material peeking out from under the main one, is deep blue in colour. Within the bottom of the eyestay, the debossed AF1 lettering is a lighter shade of blue. Above this, a Light Soft Pink lace dubrae repeats the debossed AF1 text. Three swooshes adorn the flanks of this shoe, with one on the medial side and a duo stacked on top of one another on the lateral side. The former comes in dark blue, and the latter pair is made up of a light blue bottom layer and a top layer in Canyon Rust. This pale red hue features again along the secondary heel panel, which rests behind another in Light Soft Pink with light blue embroidered Nike text. Lastly, two sets of Nike Air branding decorate the off-white insole, one facing away from the back of the foot in light blue and the other facing towards it in Team Red.
