Nike introduces the new Summit White colorway palette for the season, detailing the signature Air Force 1 Mid React sneaker model this time around. It has a clean look with an all-leather construction across the upper, with a touch of transparent mesh that can be seen around the heel section.
It also rests on top of the React foam-infused sole unit foundation for comfort. The sneakers are then accompanied by a heel strap and a sizable pull tab to continue with the sleek look. There is a touch of contrast in the form of the tongue tabs over the forefoot with Nike Air branding details in a blue tone to round out the entire look.
