Color-Blocked Pastel Casual Sneakers

Nike's Air Force 1 Sneakers Get a Seasonal Sun Club Makeover

— April 13, 2022 — Lifestyle
Nike introduces a new tonal palette to one of its most iconic sneaker models - the Air Force 1 is complete with a Sun Club colorway to build upon the brand's ongoing series. Throughout the upper, it boasts a color-blocked construction with a blend of pastel hues.

This includes sun gold, baby blue, salmon, lavender, and hot curry. It is worthy to note that these bright shades are made using a blend of recycled woven and canvas fabrication throughout the entire upper. The sole unit adds a touch of tonal contrast as it is entirely done in a light gray palette and the midsole is finished in white. The heels are detailed with a Sun Club embroidery to round it all out.
