The Black and White “Panda” theme has always been a popular blocking for Nike on past releases. For Spring 2022, the brand takes the “Panda” theme literally with this upcoming Air Force 1 Mid.

This offering of the Nike Air Force 1 Mid dubbed, “Culture Day” draws inspiration from pandas, like the ones found at the Ueno Zoo. It features a sherpa fleece upper used to imitate the fur of a panda while having Black suede overlays and leather Swooshes and heels. Other details includes suede eyestays, Jewel Swoosh on the medial, Cream-colored tongues and laces atop a White midsole. Completing the design and theme are graphic insoles and translucent outsoles revealing a collage of imagery including a Panda bear and even a Black and White Air Force 1 Mid.
