Although the 50th anniversary of Nike’s Swoosh logo has just passed, the sportswear brand still has some releases lineup to keep the celebration going. The “First Use” pack continues to extend as Nike adds an Air Force 1 Shadow to the celebratory collection.

The women’s-exclusive Air Force 1 variant sees its signature exaggerated overlays take on a variety of colors that offset a clean off-white base. While grey, green, and orange leathers dominate the toe and lacestays, the hindfoot sees a suede soft coral overlay instead. Suede is also applied to the heel tab, which features Nike’s archive cursive logo. This logo can be seen on the tongue label as well. As for the profile Swooshes, blue leather is used on both sides although the lateral side sees a green Swoosh printed underneath for an overlapped look. Furthermore, a green and orange rubber overlay adds additional pops of color to a stark white midsole. A gold Swoosh lace dubrae and insoles featuring the logo’s debut year are the final touches that mark the model’s placement within the “First Use” pack.

Take a closer look at the AF 1 Shadow below, which will hit Nike.com in the coming months at a price of $110.
