As the Swoosh continues to build out the Nike Air Force 1 Low‘s 40th anniversary, the company has outfitted Bruce Kilgore’s iconic design in a mix of high-profile collaborations and solo efforts. For the model’s latest ensemble, the latter category grows by one, as a simple color palette and non-standard cross-stitched panels land on the sneaker.
Vastly different from Drake’s upcoming Air Force 1, the latest take on Kilgore’s 1982 creation features shades of grey across the upper and sole unit, with the darker proposition arriving via the latter. Profile swooshes and upper heel panels deviate from their drab surroundings in a cream hue that also animates the tongue label and mid-foot panel. What’s eye-catching about the Air Force 1‘s mid-foot construction, however, is that it exchanges smooth leather for a woven build that is likely meant to deliver increased breathability for the summer. “NIKE” text on the heel and swoosh logos on the sock-liner also boast non-standard arrangements, which could speak to a larger Nike Sportswear collection.
Enjoy official images of the latest Air Force 1 Low ahead, and expect a Nike.com launch before summer ends.
