With Summer calling for fresh colors and fun details, leave it to the Nike Air Force 1 Shadow to deliver new offerings that get experimental with color-blocking and the use of textures. An upcoming arrangement is seeing a watermelon-esque color scheme and suede overlays that make for a warm weather-ready look.

Since the tongue, lacestays, and toe are in a stark white, the forefoot of the design is kept relatively simple. The short-lived simplicity ends with the sides introducing leather Swooshes in a bright pink dubbed “Crimson Bliss.” On the lateral side, the aforementioned Swoosh is placed directly over a graphic of a Swoosh printed on the mid panel for a layered illusion. This side also features a rubber AIR overlay that mimics the branding found on the white midsole, although it’s tinted in a soft green named “Lime Ice” and uses pink as an accent shade. As for the medial side, the hindfoot panel opts for a suede-like texture and a “Magic Ember” coloring that is quite similar to Crimson Bliss. The soft red and suede finish are also repeated on an overlay on the lateral side’s hindfoot and the heel tab logo. Final touches of Lime Ice are applied to the tongue label and the layered heel tab to complete the summer-ready design.
