Continuing in the tribute of packs to the U.S. military, the adidas Football Dark Ops Collection continues on with its ‘Navy SEAL Pack’, which takes direct color inspiration from the uniforms and wetsuits of the SEALs (and this may be the most handsome pack of the entire collection).

With the canvas and suede on the uppers of the featured cleats, the textures and richness of hues pop and also add durability based on the materials.
