Nike Air Force 1 '07 WB

This Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 WB has an almost monochrome design made up of gentle tan colours, with minor variations that give it a compelling look. A Gum Light Brown sole starts things off, its Air-cushioning offering comfort, and its grippy outsole traction. Along the sides, embossed stars around the front of the toe and the heel link up with rectangular lugs on the edges to provide sturdiness through the bottom of the shoe.

Meanwhile, a splendid light brown tone known as Flax covers the panels of the upper. Made of suede for a sophisticated appearance, these smooth sections create familiar shapes through the overlays of the heel and forefoot, the eyestay over the top of the foot, the midfoot panels set back into the flanks and the toe box. Fanned lines of perforations stand out on the surface of this last feature, while additional pairs of holes in the bottom of each midfoot segment ensure that the foot is ventilated throughout.

Atop this plush exterior, Wheat leather swooshes vary the colour scheme just a little, their golden tinge contrasting with the browner Flax of the upper. Flax continues into many other parts of the shoe, including the inner lining and insole, which has black Nike Air text printed onto it. A further set of black branding appears on the tongue patch, but the Nike Air lettering on the heel panel has simply been debossed, thus maintaining the shoe’s dapper design.

The brown boot-style laces feature lighter-coloured stripes at regular intervals that forge an eye-catching pattern while also adding a certain ruggedness to the sneaker. Finally, these laces thread through a series of eyelets that zigzag up the eyestay, finishing with hexagonal metal grommets in the topmost eyelets to offer a feeling of strength and durability.
