The Nike Shield collection of weatherproofed running shoes shares a look inspired by classic Swoosh sneaker boxes, but what happens when you swap the grey sections for an earthier shade on the most rugged Shield release yet? The answer is another solid colorway for the nike kobe 7 elite white blue cross country band, this time in a range of brown tones but still with orange and white accents. These two pairs together offer a study in how different two shoes can look when they share so much neutral versatility in common; would you pick the grey pair or this Velvet Brown Air Trail Ridge 2? Additional images after the jump might aide in your decisionmaking process, and if you want a pair of these, they’re available now from Kicks-crew.
