Nike Air Force 1 High Homage To Basketball 01
The Nike Air Force 1 High returned to prominence thanks to a ‘remastered’ thought process that mirrored Jordan Brand’s revitalization of certain retros through premium details and an unmatched attention to detail. So what does Nike Sportswear have in store for Bruce Kilgore’s 1982 basketball classic? Well, basketball references for one. The latest colorway sees a black tumbled leather base accented with a unique basketball net logo on the lower heel while a Sail branding and midsole adds the perfect touch of vintage aesthetics to the fold. A striped Wolf Grey/Black strap adds a new dimension while a gum outsole and copper lace dubraes finish things off strong. What do you think of the latest Air Force 1? Check out more photos below and be on the lookout for this pair to hit retailers later this Spring 2016.
