Nike 1World Air Force 1 Maharam
The Nike 1World Air Force 1 Maharam uses a cloth material on the upper and pretty much creates it’s own unique panels for the classic silhouette. It also features red stitching in trail like patterns in a variety of places. A mix of brown and green make it onto the uppers, as the overall appearance has a dark kind of feel, but also pillow like at the same time.
