Nike Air Force 1 '07

This pair of Nike Air Force 1 ‘07s is covered in engaging branding features that bring it a stylish edge. Black and white form the basis of the design, with the former appearing across the pivot-circle grip pattern of the outsole as well as the tumbled leather which spans most of the upper. In between these two sections is a white midsole, which seems even brighter next to the darker tones above and below it. On the lateral side of its heel, the word “Air” emerges slightly from its surface, again in white, indicating the cushioning technology within.

Meanwhile, through the leather overlays of the upper, black is the main colour on show, coating the toe box and the mudguard surrounding it, as well as the eyestay, laces, rear overlay and midfoot. The last element is made from a woven textile, giving this part of the foot a compelling contrast against the leather either side. Over the top sits a Cool Grey swoosh made of smooth leather. When it reaches the heel, the logo disappears under a black heel panel debossed with Racer Blue Nike Air text. This effective tonal pairing has been replicated on the tongue patch and the insole, creating a consistent style across the sneaker. A final branding detail adorns the lateral side of the heel, where a duo of swooshes sits embroidered into the leather, one in Racer Blue, the other Cool Grey.
