Nike continues to grow its ongoing Move to Zero series with sustainable intention and the latest model to join is none other than the iconic Air Force 1 Crater silhouette. The shoe is made with at least 20% recycled materials throughout the entire design.
The upper sees a blend of smooth white and cream leather materials before touches of pastel yellow and orange detail the shoe. This can be seen making up the branding details including the Swoosh at the lateral side of the shoe. The notable Move to Zero pinwheel emblem is done up in bright neon at the insoles with a heel tab in the bright tonal Regrind rubber materials. The recycled material can also be seen on the speckled crater foam at the midsoles.
