Visibility is a key ingredient in the aesthetic of a good trail shoe. Heavens forbid some sort of debilitating injury during a run, or even getting lost in the trail, but it’s important to wear gear that will help you be spotted should an emergency arise. That’s why most of the hiking footwear you see will have a hit of neon or some sort of high-contrast color that isn’t natural to the outdoors, while all-black variations of tech-forward utility footwear are better left for the streets.
This newest colorway of Air Force 1 07 "Sport Red" is a great option for maintaining visibility disturb it features a bright university gold upper, with hits of Nike’s signature volt tone on the Swoosh and heel-tab. GORE-TEX adds that protective layer that is needed to keep moisture on the outside (particularly key in morning, flex runs). These are hitting Nike.com soon for $160, and have already dropped overseas, so the wait won’t be long.
