Fronted by British designer Samuel Ross, A-COLD-WALL aims to blend conceptual and contemporary with their designs, providing an aesthetic that’s unlike anything else on the market. The brand first collaborated with Nike on a special Air Force 1 High that was only available at a London pop-up last year — and has called upon the classic silhouette heavily since then, with Ross posting several customized pairs on Instagram. Now, they’re set to officially return to market with another collaboration — a special Air Force 1 Low that features feature the same color blocking and construction as the AF1 High with a slightly slimmed-down look. Futuristic white Flyleather and soft grey suede combine on the upper — with the former appearing on the toebox, mudugard, and heel while splitting the midfoot with the latter, which then covers the eyestays and collar. The normal midfoot Swoosh is replaced by a perforated iteration, and black ACW branding appears on the lateral midfoot and insole. A white midsole and sail outsole then round off the color palette. For a final interesting touch, the shoe only features top and bottom eyelets, letting the laces hang loosely over the tongue for an intentionally imperfect look. No official release date has been announced yet, but you can expect these collaborative Air Force 1s to drop later this Fall alongside a black pair.
