In honour of New York City’s basketball heritage, Nike dedicates this pair of Air Force 1s to the Big Apple by stitching ‘NYC’ on the heels and ankle straps. Their crisp white uppers are met with tonal jewel swooshes on the sidewalls, while navy blue accents nod to the brand’s rich sporty heritage. A gum rubber sole underfoot gives them a truly vintage look and draws inspiration from the late ‘90s and early ‘00s. Although originally made for the hardwood back in 1982, bottom sneakers have become streetwear icons amongst celebrities and street moguls alike and it's clear to see why.
