Chocolate Plaid Sneakers

Nike’s Air Force 1 Mid Is Arriving in 'Brown Plaid' This Autumn Season

— October 28, 2022 — Fashion
Nike has launched its Air Force 1 Mid in a new ‘Brown Plaid’ colorway. The ‘Air Force 1’ is presently commemorating its 40th anniversary, and various releases have hit the stores, from retro-inspired appearances to innovative, all-new colorway choices. This iteration transforms the uppers using a cream color and brown leather overlays for contrast, while the mid-ankle strap is decorated with the same chocolate brown shade. This colorway’s standout feature is a pair of plaid Swooshes that combine white, cream, and brown hues.

The sneaker is finished with a white midsole and gum rubber outsole, solidifying comparisons to the previous ‘Tartan Plaid’ pack released by Nike. The forthcoming Air Force 1 Mid ‘Brown Plaid’ will launch in the coming weeks via Nike.
