In 1987, Nike launched the Air Safari as part of the Air Pack, a release that laid the foundation for a signature Nike colorway. Fast forward to Summer 2024, and Tinker Hatfield’s iconic Nike Lunar Force 1 High 'NYC' OG is making a comeback, marking its first re-release since 2018.

The revived Air Safari boasts a timeless Black, Monarch, and Light Iron Ore color palette. This rendition faithfully reproduces the original color scheme, featuring a Black and Orange leather base with breathable verona on the tongues. Yet, what steals the spotlight is the iconic safari print adorning the toe cap, ankle, and heel overlay. The Monarch shade extends to the tongue branding and inner lining, complementing the classic design atop a Black and White midsole, while a rubber outsole completes the look.
