Nike’s take on the latest Air Force 1 features nostalgic, lighter colors—the result of the brand’s effort to add a feminine take on the iconic model. Consisting of mostly light and pastel colorways, the Nike Air Force 1 Shadow’s main attraction is the two-toned Swoosh. The entire collection has five color variations: “Phantom (white and pink),” “Mystic Navy (blue, green, red, white, and light pink combination),” “Pale Ivory (pastel blue, violet, yellow, pink, and white combination),” “White,” and “Black.”
