Ben Kirschner didn’t want to do your traditional revamp of the Nike Air Force 1 when he set out to create a new version of the classic basketball model. Instead of revamping the midsole and outsole, he felt that the somewhat bulky vintage tooling was good enough to withstand the Fall/Winter elements and instead focused on the upper with military grade fabrics of ballistic nylon for added weather resistance. It doesn’t make too much sense that the Nike SF-AF1 Mid is releasing throughout Summer 2017, but why ruin a good thing with overanalysis? Today we get a look at the upcoming Nike SF AF1 Mid Triple Ivory set to release on June 30th for $160 USD. The all-white-everything Air Force 1 Mids have been a staple in everyone’s footwear rotation for decades now, and this update adds a premium off-white combination of Swooshless tumbled leather and nylon for a unique twist. The only hiccup here is the contrast black zipper heel. What do you think of the look? Check out more of Mr. Kirschner’s latest military inspired creation below and grab your pair on 6/30 from select retailers.
