The Air Force 1 has fallen in love with “University Blues” this year, coating the silhouette in both dominant and seldom fashion using everything from its Fontanka to low-top constructions. Most recently employing the UNC-inspired hue unto the silhouette’s 40th anniversary edition tooling, the latest Air Force 1 Low instead indulges in the latter’s use as an accent.
The model’s tried-and-true “Triple-White” aesthetic is enacted, proffering a brightened color-match across its laces, tongue, sock liner and smooth leather overlays. While not ideal for the unpredictable weather of the coming months, light Carolina Blues enter the fold through a secondary outline along the midfoot Swoosh in tandem with both its tongue and heel tabs while a crisp white midsole interjects between the clad colored tread underfoot. Metallic dubraes and iced out forefoot Swooshes additionally harken the pairs OG tooling in conclusion.
