Nike introduces a new tonal iteration of the iconic Air Force 1 Low sneaker model to its roster with the launch of the Coconut Milk colorway. It is set for the price of $125 USD and the model boasts a milky hue throughout the silhouette.
The shoe replaces the traditionally white uppers, made with a smooth leather material with a new creamy touch. It serves as the base of the shoe whilst there are overlays of grainy leather added on top to add another layer of texture. The panel is defined by its inflated Swoosh branding emblem with more branding to follow at the tongue tag, the bight red insoles, and the Nike Air heel tab embossed.
