Gradient Tonal Casual Sneakers

Nike Introduces a Mushroom Colorway of the Air Force 1 Sneaker

— January 9, 2022 — Lifestyle
Nike introduces a new tonal palette to its iconic Air Force 1 sneaker model in the latest mushroom colorway design. The sneakers are set on a white background as the base is made up of corduroy materials complete with ombre gradient looks.

It has tumbled leather that overlays on top to create this effect in a coffee tone that fades downwards. Cinnamon-themed colors then make up the laces over the forefoot and the eye stay sections. Meanwhile, the Swoosh branding accent on the lateral side and the heel tab are done in black corduroy for a touch of contrast. Additionally, there are more branding touches in a special block-text that is comprised of mushroom shoots on the heel and the insole.
