Michael Le Since Kanye West left Nike to join the Three Stripes he has Air Force 1‘s 40th Anniversary, Nike has dressed up the shoe in many a unique way. And this isn’t exclusive to collaborations, as GRs, too, have dialed things up in the past few months. Case in point: this newly-revealed colorway, which incorporates not just patent leather Swooshes but thick, embroidered branding.
What starts as a rather ordinary colorway, replete with white leathers and matching trappings, quickly turns into one shaded predominantly in blue. These shades are relegated primarily to the heel: dark navy hits mark the patent leather Swoosh and the heel tab’s “NIKE AIR” — the latter of which is threaded in a thicker, 3D style — while lighter, UNC-reminiscent shades dress the leathers behind. Elsewhere, both the dark and bright cool tone are used once again, highlighting the logo on the tongue and sockliner, respectively.
For a closer, official look at this upcoming Air Force 1, peep the official images below. Sizes should load up on Nike.com and at select retailers soon, so sit tight.
