Nike launches a new iteration of the signature Air Force 1 Low sneaker model for the season with the Shaggy Green suede makeover launching just in time for the Fall season ahead. It is inspired by turf and boasts a low-top shape that is detailed with a green shaggy look throughout the upper done through mixed materials.
It has a suede and felt-like finish and ensures that it remains a sustainable mindset throughout. It is made from recycled fabric at the cut-out panels of the shoe. The branded heels and Swoosh are made with a black corduroy material and the tongue is detailed in a contrasting purple velvet that is done to match the laces over the forefoot.
