Combining fashion and function in a bold new style, Nike’s latest take on the silhouette, the Air Force 1 Utility Mid, will be releasing in the popular “Orca” colorway. It comes constructed out of a full tumbled leather on the upper done in White and Black for a versatile look. Black straps soar over the tongue and connect via a triangular ring on both the lateral and medial midfoot, while factory-style branding adds a little extra technical flair. A milky opaque outsole then arrives to round off the look.
