Stüssy continues to work in collaboration alongside Nike and this season, the duo shines a spotlight on none other than the iconic Air Force 1 Mid sneaker silhouette. The shoe has three notable colorways including a minimally designed black and white iteration followed by the Fossil Hemp color palette which has the iconic hook-and-loop strap detail.
The third option makes up of a blend of black premium leather and faux black snakeskin Swoosh details. All three sneakers are adorned with branding accents at the top of the toe boxes that see a perforated SS emblem. It is followed by a series of apparel to join as well including graphic tees, sweaters, and beanies for a cozy feel.
