Nike introduces a new Air Force 1 High Utility 2.0 sneaker model that is described to be Formless, Shapeless, Limitless, and prepared to launch soon this year. The high-top silhouette is bold in design kicking off with the crackled leather material that makes up the upper in white blended with touches of tan and gray together.
Tan makes up the overlays and the suede textural Swoosh branding details and the gray color makes up the quarters and the toe boxes. Notably, the ankle sees a thick icy chain link that wraps around the section and the collars that are held in place by a silver loop for a bold and unique look. It boasts a slightly icy look with the frosted texture of the chain.
