In 1982, Bruce Kilgore and the Swoosh collaborated on a made-for-basketball design that would go on to become fundamental to sneaker collecting and reselling. As the Nike Air Force 1 continues to celebrate its 40th anniversary, it keeps reinventing itself through colorway, materials and collaborators.
Recently, the shoe emerged in an experimental, “do-it-yourself”-like ensemble. Predominantly clad in “White,” the latest take on Kilgore’s iconic creation features grey-colored profile swooshes accented with neon green cross-reminiscent shapes and “random” stitching, the latter also appearing along the tongue but in a highlighter crimson hue. Branding on the top of the tongue also opts for the “Infrared”-esque color, further animating the otherwise simple outfit. Non-standard “NIKE” and “JUST DO IT.” text is stamped onto the lateral heel in a pixelated font to further drive home the experimental aesthetic. Lastly, the Air Force 1 Low couples a milky tone to the all-“White” midsole.
Enjoy official images of the pair ahead, and anticipate a Nike.com launch soon.
