The Nike Air Alpha Force 88 "Medium Grey" is Now Available

As the streetwear landscape continually evolves, so too does Nike's archival catalog; the Nike Alpha Force 88 is one of those, as it utilizes new designs to align with contemporary aesthetics while paying homage to its athletic roots.

It's newest effort, dubbed the "Medium Grey" colorway, is not one to shy away from the limelight despite its muted color palette. The upper is bathed in a monochrome grey suede, a tactile choice that invites admiration visually and to the touch. This soft suede construction provides a sleek backdrop for the iconic silhouette of the Alpha Force 88, letting its classic design do the talking.

A striking contrast is brought on by the black heel counter, subtly nestled amidst the grey, a gentle nod to the sneaker's knack for functional detailing. Monochrome color placement extends to the sole unit, adorned in a green-grey "Seaglass" hue, evoking a sense of calmness, a departure from the explosive athletic energy often associated with the shoe.

The design will also be released alongside a matching colorway in "Red Stardust" on Nike.com on January 4th.
