Nike continues to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Air Force 1 silhouette with the latest iteration of the low-top shoe done in a Snakeskin colorway palette. The sneakers have seen the textile across other silhouettes and this time around, it boasts a light grey tonal upper done with leather materials in place of the usual white option seen on the Ivory Snake option.
The shoes are detailed with a snakeskin base along the heel branding and a Swoosh emblem. The heel branding is done in an embroidered Nike Air logo in a lighter grey tone. It all rests on top of an off-white tonal sole unit as the base foundation and will be dropping in women's sizing.
