Nike Air Force 1 '07 LX

A series of captivating colors have been blended together on these Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 LX sneakers. Obsidian begins the look by coating the entire outsole, from the star-shaped nodes embossed onto the heel and toe to the circular structures that provide high-quality grip underfoot. The same rich shade of blue also appears in the Air text that pops up on the lateral heel of the white midsole, whose plush cushioning of the same name provides the wearer with a soft step.

Obsidian also acts as the base throughout the upper, covering the toe box, the midfoot panels and the heel tab. These sections are all made of leather with a generously pebbled surface texture, as are the overlaid panels. Each one of these comes in its own individual tone, beginning with the Gorge Green forefoot mudguard. Meanwhile, the rear overlay is a lighter sky blue than the Obsidian seen elsewhere on the design.

Along each flank is a Gold Suede swoosh, the appealing yellow showing up again on the heritage branding of the heel, tongue and insole. Obsidian forms the background once again, while the tongue features the word “Force” and the heel has “Nike” lettering in the style of another iconic design – the Air Command Force. Elsewhere, the insole, which is surrounded on either side by the plush Obsidian fabric of the inner lining, has “Nike” printed on the left foot and “Force” on the right.

Over the top of the foot, deep blue reappears on the laces, which thread through an eyestay that is made of luxurious suede in a warm shade of red. An oval-shaped, Obsidian dubrae etched with more retro branding keeps the laces secure before a delicate blue swoosh decorates the end of the eyestay to conclude this regal sneaker with a subtle detail.
