Nike introduces a new and contemporary tonal approach to the Air Force 1 React D/MS/X silhouette, updated with the React cushioning technology by the sportswear brand. The new iteration spotlights a colorway rooted with white and LR Smoke Gray at the foundation.
It is then detailed with bold hits of both University Gold and Royal Blue for a pop of color against the simplistic base. At the top of the design is the woven tongue tab in bright yellow covering some mesh fabrication for breathability. Additional details include the flat white laces, the gray leather eyelet panels, matching hue at the lower backstay with double stacking, and an elongated Swoosh logo that starts at the throat line ending at the heel counter.
