[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-pegasus-wave) introduces a new color palette to join the roster as the striking Gorge Green colorway is seen decorating the Air Flight Lite Mid sneaker model. It is made with [premium white leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-general-82) at the base foundation of the shoe and then detailed with touches of green as a tonal contrast on top.

Details include the green Swoosh on the lateral side of the shoe and the matching tonal eyelets and tongue. The tongue is also marked with branding accents that read "NIKE FLIGHT" on the tags and "NIKE AIR" that is embroidered onto the back of the shoe. Rounding out the overall design includes the graphic sock lining, the [green rubber outsoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evergreen-aura), and the white midsoles.
