Nike’s Air Force 270 silhouette has become a surprising vessel for the Beaverton Brand’s heritage, as it has payed its respects to the brand’s iconic shoe boxes as well as its revered Safari aesthetic in past models. While the Swoosh knows that paying tribute to its past is important, the introduction of refreshing colorways to its newer models the likes of this hybridizes silhouette is just as paramount. With that in mind, Nike has added a “Red Croc” theme to the sneaker that fuses the Air Max 270 with the Air Force 180 that utilizes premium materials. Tumbled leather adorns the toebox of this model while its lateral panelling calls upon a croc-skin texture as its focal point. White offers up the only relief from the Team Red and Gym Red color scheme on the midsole and outsole while its lifestyle-engineered heel unit matches the rest of its upper. Pairs of this luxurious Air Force 270 are currently available at select retailers overseas, but expect them at US retailers on May 18th.
Update: The Nike Air Force 270 “Red Croc” is available now on Nike and Finishline.
