Nike introduces a new tonal iteration of the Air Moc 3.5 shoes that still center around comfort as the most important element of its core design. The shoes are made using durable quilted materials throughout the entire upper and fall to the natural curve of the silhouette for a seamless look and feel.
It joins the brand's Move to Zero campaign that works towards a greener and more sustainable future in terms of producing waste in landfills. The shoe itself is made using recycled Crater Foam at the midsole foundation and sits on top of Grin Rubber at the outsole. Similar to the icy blue colorway from the past, the Black option will be dropping in the upcoming months.
