Earthy Mixed Material Sneakers

Nike's AF1-Type Sneakers Arrive in a New Colorway Design for SS20

As a part of Nike's conceptual N. 354 Series, the brand's own AF1-Type sneaker model boasts a new abstract design language with the updated colorway. The color palette features a blend of Earth Brown and Light Ivory together as an earthy theme.

The upper is constructed from leather in an off-white hue that features brown tonal taped seaming on the quarter panel with another N. 354 graphic as well. The back of the shoe has an ivory strap that features a Swoosh branding graphics done in a hand drawn aesthetic. The strap follows through around the heel and rooted on the medial side of the sneakers where the details are bold. It features a slightly clear TPE and a cream Swoosh as well.
