We’ve seen every manner of material and color hit the Nike Air Force 1 Low over the past several decades. However, the more recent connotations of “Black Forces” has forced Nike’s hand somewhat, throwing curveballs with stealthy looks to separate them from that staid leather on leather look for the “Uptown.” The latest leans into an almost futuristic direction, changing out leather underlays and planting “Game Royal” accents in the margins.

As promised, heavy-duty nylon mesh is the foundation, formally allowing the shoe to stand up to the elements even more and aesthetically bringing an almost speckled look to the underlays. While the traditional leather carries this shoe a layer up, it borrows the contrast edge look from raw leather shoes to allow “Game Royal” to make an appearance outlining the Swoosh. It mirrors on branding throughout and on the insole, allowing for the slightest bit of contrast to make its way to an otherwise “Triple Black” colorway.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Game Royal” is expected to hit Nike.com and select retailers in the coming weeks. Get ready for a $115 retail price upon arrival.

In other news out of Beaverton, the Air Jordan 4 “Oxidized Green” and Nina Chanel Abney Jordan 3 provide an emerald toned one-two punch on June 15th and 20th.
