With so many lifestyle renditions of the Nike Air Force 1 throughout its long and illustrious life, it’s sometimes easy to forget that the shoe was once the brand’s elite level basketball shoe. They now may be considered clunkers on the court worn by nobody but Rasheed Wallace for actually playing in, but Nike Sportswear pays homage to the iconic model’s roots with a special edition set of the Air Force 1 Low in pebbled basketball leather uppers.
The low-top Air Force 1 is bouncing into retailers now in two basketball uppers, in your choice of a traditional orange leather with red accents, or a more subdued black and grey color combination. Each feature double Swooshes, logo patches on the tongues, and canvas quarter panels to complete the clean hoops-inspired looks. The orange pair hasn’t arrived in the US yet, but is available at Nike UK, while the black version is up for grabs right now at Nike.com.
