Nike's Fur Pack gets a new addition with the launch of the soft Air Zoom Division sneaker silhouette spotlighted by the textural uppers. The brand gives the shoe a makeover that prepares it for the winter season, detailing it with light pastel hues throughout and textured materials.
The sneaker is set to join the brand's women's line and features supple fabrics including faux fur and suede. The top of the tongue features some branding details in the form of an embroidered accent reading "AIR ZOOM." This is then followed by details in light green, red, and lavender with a multi-colored lacing system looping through fuzzy eyelet panels. The toe cap and rear quarter are done in mint green suede paneling throughout.
