Collegiate-Themed Dark Tonal Shoes

Nike Adds Two Air Force 1 Lows to the College Pack

Just in time for school to start up again, Nike introduces its latest College pack of sneakers that are highlighted by the Air Force 1 Low sneaker model. The shoe has been celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and the new range delivers two dark tonal options.

It comes with a smooth leather base foundation in white and then accented with either dark blue detailing or maroon hues as the overlaying details for tonal contrast. Additional details include the matte silver dubreas that are seen on the laces and the dramatic Nike Air embroidery that is featured along the heel. Rounding out the shoe are the varsity padded tongues and the dark gum rubber outsole.
