Ice Cream-Themed Casual Footwear

Nike's Air Force 1 Low Gets a Sweet Neapolitan Colorway Design

— June 7, 2022 — Lifestyle
Nike introduces another iteration of its signature Air Force 1 Low sneaker model for the season with the new Neapolitan colorway palette. It is inspired by the summer tri-flavor ice cream of vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry for a sweet theme.

Arriving just in time for the summer season upon us, the front toe box section starts off with a pastel pink suede material as a reference to the strawberry flavor. Chocolate hits can be seen at the back of the shoe in suede detailing the heel section and resting in between two is a block of cream. This section is done up in a blend of leather and nubuck materials for the tonal and textural contrast.
