With New York Fashion Week fast approaching, Nike is pulling out all the stops when it comes to their collaborative Football. From Virgil Abloh‘s Off-White collection for Serena Williams to Skepta‘s new Nike LeBron 9 Low 'USA' Another Look, the Swoosh Brand’s Rolodex of partners is certainly being used heavily. However, it wouldn’t truly be New York Fashion Week without a real NY collab and the associate they’re calling on to provide just that is PSNY. Maxwell Osborne and Dao-Yi Chow’s elegant yet streetwise brand has lent their touch to classic Nike and Jordan models in the past — the PSNY Air Jordan 12 being the most notable example — and now they’re set to drop a brand-new take on the classic sacai x nike cortez set for 2022 release in a trifecta of colors, one of which is this luxurious combo of sail and tan.
Their altered creation is a loving homage to a shoe that’s been tied in with New York street culture since its inception. Even though the silhouette is that of a standard Air Force 1 High, PSNY has taken elements from all three Air Force 1 models — low, mid, and high — for a striking deconstructed look with bold stitching accenting each panel of the upper. Notable design features include the raised lacing system, the semi-detached swoosh, the extra-thin heel collar, and the bold nylon heel tab on the back — a clever nod to the Air Force 1’s strap — that states “Property Of PSNY, Not For Resale.” These new Air Force 1s will drop September 5th with a retail price that’s yet to be determined, so enjoy a full set of official images below while you wait, and check out our Sneaker Release Dates page for all your Swoosh Brand drop updates.
