Nike's Air Force 1 Low sneaker is already an icon in the sneaker game, so much so that musician Nelly made a hit song in the shoe's honor. But with a little rugged edge sprinkled into its timeless basketball-influenced design, the Nike Air Force 1 quickly goes from good to great (outdoors).

Feast your eyes on the Nike Air Force 1 "Desert Khaki" sneaker, which sees the legacy model balance its effortlessly stylish appeal with a bit of outdoor charm. Notably, the sneaker features mostly luscious suede throughout its upper, joined by midfoot panels made of what looks like durable ripstop fabric.

The sturdy material also comprises the Force's tongue. At the same time, the Air Force 1 sneaker is complete with a convenient pull tab on the heel, furthering its trail-ready aura.

Although it has a few practical features, the Nike Air Force 1 sneaker seems more appropriate for your next night-out with the squad rather than a trail adventure. However, if you do decide to test these beauties out in the wilderness, well...that's on you, my friend. Caution is advised.

Of course, Nike has an Air Force 1 designed specifically for the great outdoors and crafted with more durable materials and fixings.

But the Nike Air Force 1 "Desert Khaki" certainly advances Nike's outdoor-themed efforts. As the brand keeps pace with the ongoing gorpcore craze, it has created fitting footwear like chunk-ster waterproof hiking boots and even rugged GORE-TEX Air Forces.

The "Desert Khaki" Forces may not be as advanced as the others, but, hey, it's a good-looking gorpy sneaker. And whether you're a genuine outdoor boi or want to dress the part, Nike Air Force 1 Low "Desert Khaki" sneaker is expected to stomp in during the spring.
