Nike’s Air Force 1 Low is getting a new look for Easter, and it’s not heavy on the pastels like you might expect.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Easter Basket” sees its its underlays get a woven treatment that may inspire you to fill it with candy for the holiday. The natural tone of a basket is complemented by off-white suede overlays, as well as a brown sockliner and outsole. A glossy blue brings shine to the Swoosh, and the mustache carries a metallic sheen in green. Pastels then play their part with purple Nike Air branding on the mustache and midsole, as well as seafoam laces and midsole lines.
