Nike’s use of animal prints in their sneakers have always brought an extra level of flare to their releases, but the upcoming ‘Animal Instinct’ pack kicks things up a notch, covering the Air Force 1 Mid and other styles in a number of patterns.
Nike has regularly applied animal-inspired materials to some of their best silhouettes over the years, creating sought-after releases with snakeskin overlays and other luxurious leathers and textiles with signature animal patterns. This week, we got an early look at a new ‘Animal Instinct’ collection, which takes things to another level through a number of different animal patterns on the same shoes. Today, we are looking at the pack’s Air Force 1 Mid, which begins with a simple white leather base, but it gets pretty crazy from there. The toe box is outlined in a snakeskin pattern mudguard, while the lacing system features a jaguar spot-pattern in suede. The heel sections come in black & white zebra print, and the whole look is finished with a bright pink midsole.
