“This is how we take the old from new, the new to the old, the old from the new!” Yes we’re about to take you back….. Way back…… into time! So once again I find myself digging into the year 2005 to find some of the dopest AF1’s in my collection. Long before Pitbull was shouting out 305 on every club track and even before Officer Ricky was disgracing Dade County with lackluster street cred, Miami was doing big things! So big in fact that the Sunshine State’s gem of a city was included in Nike’s 2005 City pack. One of the few woven Air Forces to be released as part of this limited city pack is the eye-catching dish before you. Some clementine and aloe please! What ingredients better to mix up a tropical dish than two colors hardly ever used by Nike! The dog tag graphic with “305” and “MIA” (using the abbreviation as a play on words to warrant the usage of dog tags) is a nice finisher to an brand complete sneaker. A tough colorway to hook up with much outside of some Miami teams gear, but nonetheless a release few sneakerheads could live without. This AF1 Premium is a great summer sneaker to catch plenty of attention from unschooled “sneakerheads” whether you are dealing with inconsistent sun in the North, or dripping with sweat in a wifebeater sipping on mojitos in Miami. So if you are a true AF1 King like me, make it a point to reach into your collection, dust off your Miami Wovens and don them a time or two to see what knowledgeable necks you can break!
