Beet Red has been popping up somewhat frequently lately, as we've seen this color used in recent Nike women's releases. This new Nike Women's Air Force 1 Low '07 is a smooth looking retro style shoe that was designed exclusively for all the ladies. This simple but eye-catching Nike Air Force 1 gets the job done with a completely birch colored upper with beet accents on the patent leather Nike Swoosh, inner lining, and lace. The beet accents have also been added to the pinstripe detailing and "Air" branding on the white mid-sole, as well as to the beet outsole. The perforated toe box makes sure you get maximum comfort all throughout the day. It's easy to appreciate this simple colorway because of it's soft color combination, and clearly the beet red contrasts very well with the neutral beige.

Going the opposite direction of his last creation by opting for a bright colorway for this Air Force 1. DJ Clark Kent, gave the Nike Air Force 1 Supreme LE "NYC Edition" only the finest materials, including premium leather on four separate areas. The toe box and toe cap use a buttery smooth black, as well as the swoosh. DJ Clark Kent even chose to wrap the mid-sole in leather. This supreme lifestyle sneaker consist of blue crocodile skin which wraps from inside to the outside around the heel, matching the outsole perfectly. The "0.44 Rubber" you see on the back portion of the uppers is a reference to the rubber used on the outsole, which was originally designed for use on Nike's ACG line. The real color comes from the touches of orange used on the strap and orange nubuck in the mid-panel, giving these a distinct Knicks color-up.

Nike presents is first collaborative effort with Italian streetwear/sneaker retailer SlamJam. The "Optical Force" Air Force 1 Pack is clean and subtle, but still delivers quality and innovation. The upper is constructed of crinkled patent leather. This turns our previous thoughts of patent leather always being smooth upside down. And it looks proper. Plus, the vibrant patent leather colors in the pack contrast the white soles and premium white leather swoosh nicely. They finished off the sneaker with an embossed "SlamJam" logo on the heel tab. A nice touch for a classy and well-done collaboration.

Along with many other recent Nike releases, these Air Force 1 models were inspired by the Beijing Olympic games. They are fresh, simple and available in numerous different two-tone colorways. As you may know, the number "8" has a lot meaning to the Chinese culture. And, it is why Nike chose to use octagon pattern perforations on the side panels on each of these Air Force 1 designs. You will also see the octagon pattern in various applications on other Beijing Olympic-inspired models from Nike. The pattern definitely brings uniqueness to these sneakers. Plus, they are a great alternative to the loud colorways that are currently on the market.
