Nike's Air Force 1 Low Welcomes Summer with Mesh Panels and 'Light British Brown' Swooshes

Nike Sportswear and the rest of the Swoosh conglomerate continues to develop product for the year's warmest months. And while laceless slides and other slip-ons provide the ultimate on-foot experiences for summer, some folks exclusively rock sneakers between May and August. For them, it seems the brand has prepped an all-new Air Force 1 Low featuring mesh panels throughout the upper.

While not the first (nor last) time Bruce Kilgore's blueprint has been tweaked, the newly-surfaced style delivers one of the most curious updates in recent memory. A 'Coconut Milk' tone sets the stage across the top-half, covering the sneaker's traditional leather panels. A quick glance at the unreleased Nike Air Force 1, however, reveals porous mesh layers at the toe, mid-foot, and tongue. The breathable setup is reminiscent of the Air Jordan 4's signature sidewall details, which proved beneficial on the court in 1989.

Profile swooshes and Achilles' heel overlays revert to their typical material, but both components keep things interesting with their textured presentation. A 'Canyon Gold' hue animates stitching across both pieces, while the tooling underfoot keeps things on-brand with a one-two punch of the aforementioned colors.

Enjoy official photos of the reworked Air Force 1 Low ahead. Pairs of the 'Coconut Milk'-covered style are expected to hit Nike.com throughout April for around $135.
