Nike introduces one of its most iconic silhouettes in a Ridgerock colorway for the season -- the signature Air Force 1 sneakers are one of the most common lifestyle sneaker. This time around, the tonal palette gives it an earthy hue to welcome the fall season appropriately.
It is still crafted from high quality materials throughout the construction with a wide toe box and thick heel foundation. It is entirely made with tumbled leather at the upper in a gray brown hue. It is then accented with black Swooshes in a textural look for branding and contrast. Additional accents include the black heel piece, dual tonal tongue tags, and a small leather tag reading "AF1."
