Force is a sales-optimized theme from Creative Commerce, sold with a dark, high-contrast default style (its most popular preset, Turbo, is the one detected most often in independent usage data). It's built for stores across food and drink, beauty, electronics, auto, and sports — not specifically apparel — and ships five presets: Force, Challenge, Statement, Kick, and Turbo.
