Nike works in collaboration with Stüssy once again, and this time around the two add a Black colorway option to the iconic Air Force 1 Mid sneaker model. The upper is entirely black and monochromatic and is one of the three collaborative sneakers that are set to launch this year.
The upper is crafted from a matte leather material at the base foundation before a glossy black Swoosh accent on the side adds contrast and branding details. This is accompanied by a circular and bright metallic SS logo attached to the heel. More branding can be seen by the city text on the white tongue tab and a large 'Stüssy' embroidered in capitals on the collar strap.
