A good portion of the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Deep Royal Blue” is covered in glossy patent leather, mainly around the toe, eyestays, Swooshes, and heel. The darker blue has a slight purple tint when the light hits it, while the Game Royal toe box and side panels have a more traditional leather finish. The difference between the two materials is easy to see, especially from the side.

Blue laces, tongue, and inner lining match the rest of the upper, with Nike Air logos also done in blue. There’s a small silver AF1 dubrae near the toe. The white midsole keeps its usual Air Force 1 shape, adding blue AIR lettering and a thin stripe near the heel. Underneath, the rubber outsole comes in solid blue with the familiar circular tread.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Deep Royal Blue” is available now on Nike.com for $125.
