[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-suede) continues to add more color iterations of its iconic [Air Force 1 Low](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-paisley) sneaker model and the latest to join the roster is the Puerto Rico colorway. It celebrates the country with hues drawn from its national flag as bright red can be seen decorating the Nike logos in the tongue area.

Blue arrives at the bottom of the sneaker and the lateral side Swoosh branding accent. It boasts an upper entirely in white throughout the entire base foundation of the shoe with textural details that mark up the tongue, quarters, and toe boxes due to the [perforated accents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cortez-sneaker-model). The overlays are smoothed out for a touch of contrast. The lace dubraes round out the sneaker with finishing touches printed on the insoles.
