While Jordan Brand is focusing on Michael’s Tar Heel heritage in North Carolina, Nike is setting its sights on another institution of the city – the Charlotte Motor Speedway. This upcoming Air Force 1, confirmed to release during All-Star Weekend, is indeed inspired by the racing culture and tradition of the region with a blue, red, and white colorway inspired by the landmark’s official logo. Additionally, Nike decorates this Air Force 1 with special decals on the heel and midsole, a Nike Racing lace dubrae and tongue patch, and speedy racing stripes on the heel. While a firm release date hasn’t been confirmed, these are indeed expected to drop during the mid-February festivities alongside other racing-themed footwear.
