Nike's Air Force 1 Sneakers Receive a Gradient Branding Accent

— December 5, 2018 — Fashion
Nike's Air Force 1 sneakers are one of the label's most iconic designs and its latest iteration spotlight the signature Swoosh detail. It is complete in the '07 Premium' make-up and showcases hues of 'Active Fuchsia' and 'Blue Lagoon' throughout the large three-dimensional Swoosh.

To stand out even further, it contrasts against the all-black upper constructed from nubuck materials along with black tonal stitching and a black lacing system. This sits on top of a white midsole with an additional pop of color found at the Active Fuchsia outsole foundation. Notably, the Swoosh boasts a gradient visual effect and adorns not only both sides of the sneaker but also the heel counter in a miniature iteration.
