The Nike Air Safari 'Classic Stone' sneakers are here in time for the mild weather to start reminding us spring and summer are coming. This mild-toned sneaker is essentially a leisure shoe as most Nike Air sneakers are. This one is released with a colorway called Classic Stone and features a few different shades of gray (but not quite 50 shades, so don't get excited).
The main design feature on these sneakers is the pebble pattern that dominates the front lower section and the heel. With small dark grey spots placed in random order on top of a lighter grey, the design looks similar to gravel pebbles on concrete. The bottom of the shoe is accented by a royal blue sole that creeps up and is visible from the side of the shoe.
