Nike has been tinkering with Bruce Kilgore’s iconic basketball model, the Nike Air Force 1 in a number of new and exciting ways. While we’ve already gotten the militarized Nike SF-AF1 in a number of head-turning colorways, the latest limited edition model takes inspiration from luxurious aspirations with the retooled Nike Air Force 1 Sport Lux, slated to release globally on February 18th at select boutiques.
The idea with this model was to craft the perfect Nike Air Force 1 High to commemorate the 1980s classic and all its achieved as a lifestyle staple over the years. Designer Devon McKinney took over duties on this Air Force 1 High SL and wanted to breathe new premium life but not reinvent the wheel. He accomplished this through that signature shade of Vachetta Tan leather throughout while a 24K Rose Gold plated collar ring matched the removable lace tips. Steering wheel inspired stitching helps make the Swoosh branding stand out while a new fringe heel panel ushers the AF1 into the off-court realm.
That’s not all that’s updated either, as the Nike Air Force 1 Sport Lux features an improved construction for more comfort than ever thanks to drop in cushioning comprised of natural motion sipings for flexibility, Lunarlon foam, and Zoom Air cushioning on the heel. Check out more detailed shots of this premium Nike Air Force 1 Sport Lux Vachetta Tan and head to our Release Date page for an updated look at all of Nike Sportswear’s coming attractions.
