Nike Sportswear has used their fair share of gingham in recent years, and next year looks to be prime BBQ time for sneakerheads with this upcoming pack. The Nike Air Force 1 ‘Pic-Nic Pack’ shows us that you should expect more brilliant, simply-blocked AF1s in 2011, all while adding new twists to the seasonal theme. And the key unifying factor here is simplicity, with the checkerboard plaid pattern moved from the outside as with many of 2010’s summer kicks, and leaving gingham to peek out along the sockliner. These joints are otherwise mostly white, with the lowtop adding a navy Swoosh and both bottomed by a gum outsole. Check out shots of both pairs after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more on the Nike Sportswear Summer 2011 footwear collection. via MN
