Black Bows Land on the Nike Air Force 1 Shadow
Dressing up the sneaker with a formal twist.
Nike and its expansive list of designers and collaborators have outfitted the Air Force 1 in countless looks. Whether it be covering the silhouette in Louis Vuitton detailing, introducing a new version of the model or combining it with another sneaker entirely, there’s no shortage of Air Force 1 rework approaches. First appearing in 2019, the Nike Air Force 1 Shadow has been a staple in the annual women’s footwear offerings from Nike.
Now, the layered take on the Air Force 1 Low finds itself dressed up with black bow ties at the dubrae. While this inclusion immediately stands out, the sneaker’s mixed material, layered upper isn’t something to ignore. White leather operates as the upper’s base layer while taupe and golden brown suede overlays are met by chocolate brown leather detailing throughout. Velvet serves as the material of choice for the white lateral Swoosh and heel while a forest green leather Swoosh can be found at the medial. Lastly, the standard Air Force 1 sole unit arrives in white with the model’s signature added on midsole completing the look.
Look for this women’s colorway of the Nike Air Force 1 Shadow to release in the coming months via the Swoosh and select retailers at an expected price of $130 USD.
In case you missed it, the OG Nike Air Flight Huarache is expected to hit shelves once again in 2023.
