Nike Air Force 1 '07

The collection of light tones across the upper of this Air Force 1 ‘07 are balanced out by the Light Orewood Brown of the sole unit. This grippy rubber feature is made of a semi-translucent material that gives it a pale appearance and a slight glow when illuminated. The same effect is repeated through the midsole, while the upper lies in perfect combination with it thanks to its trio of grayscale colours – Summit White, Metallic Silver and Pure Platinum.

Pristine off-white tumbled leather covers the upper from heel to toe, including the forefoot mudguard, eyestay and rear overlay. Each flank is adorned with a silvery grey leather swoosh, and the heel panel has been embroidered with silver Nike Air text. Within the shoe, a stretchy mesh blankets the lining and the insole, which has Nike Air lettering printed on it in an almost indistinguishably light tone. More subtle branding emerges on the tongue, whose white patch has embossed Nike Air Force 1 text in the same colour.

Light Orewood Brown laces thread across the top of the foot, before a starry theme adds a unique touch to this design. Firstly, the top eyelet on each side of the eyestay is a shiny metallic star, an aesthetic which is emulated by the star-shaped lace dubrae. This eye-catching feature is also debossed with a Nike swoosh, and below it, further star shapes permeate the toe box. These intriguing perforations replace the usual circular ones, running in parallel strips diagonally across the forefoot. As well as providing superb air flow, they also reveal the soft mesh underneath to complete this charming sneaker.
