Nike introduces a new coconut colorway that details its signature Air Force 1 sneaker model for the spring season. The shoes are based on a white, coconut milk hue, and archaeo brown palette for an earthy feel. It is based on a white leather base foundation and overlayed with brown cracked leather.
It is seen on the Swoosh by the lateral side of the shoe to reference a more realistic look of the outer shell of a coconut. The ankles are detailed with stickers and the same aesthetic follows through to the insoles as well - this is a nod to the best quality fruit tags that can be seen in the grocery store. Finally, the tongue tag has nutrition facts.
