Nike’s latest Air Force 1 is inspired by the resilience of Mexican women. Featuring a vibrant “Red Plum” colorway, the shoe is decorated with traditional patterns that pay homage to Mexican heritage — this women’s shoe will potentially be part of a larger collection that will commemorate International Women’s Day early next month.The shoe sports delicate suede uppers, colored in “Light Arctic Pink” and “Wild Violet.” Most of the shoe is covered by graphics of abstract shapes and glyphs depicting flora and animals to represent the enduring spirit of women in Mexico throughout history. The shoe’s “Nike” tongue tag has been imagined in the style of these motifs, complemented by insoles displaying additional traditional prints. Contrasting these colors and patterns are a set of white laces, eyelet panels, a Swoosh and a midsole, finished off with a thin purple outsole.No official release dates have been confirmed, but Nike’s Air Force 1 “Red Plum” is expected to land soon on Nike’s website for $100 USD.In case you missed it, here’s a look at Nike’s new Women’s Dunk Low featuring a sour “Lemon Drop” motif.

Shortly after being confirmed by DJ Khaled, we now have an official look at the 2021 re-release of the CLOT x Nike Air Max 1 “Kiss of Death.”The original release came back in 2006 to celebrate the opening of China’s first sneaker boutique ACU. Effectively kicking off CLOT founders Edison Chen and Kevin Poon‘s mission to bridge the East and the West, the shoe is centered around the ancient concept of “Qi.”Returning after 15 years, the 2021 CLOT x Nike Air Max 1 “Kiss of Death” is once again centered around a mix of “Net/Deep Red/Orange Blazer.” The color scheme is expressed by suede with snakeskin and ostrich detailing, accented by references to the ancient Chinese art of pressure point reflexology.Aside from the patent snakeskin Swooshes, branding comes in the form of co-branded tongue tags, CLOT embroidery at the rear and reflexology chart insoles revealed by the transparent TPU. Paired with the bright orange midsoles are translucent rubber outsoles that map out the pressure points of the foot. The corresponding organs and parts of the body associated with the points are noted on the accompanying special shoebox.Take an official look at the 2021 CLOT x Nike Air Max 1 “Kiss of Death” set to release sometime this March.For more footwear news, take an official look at the READYMADE x Nike Blazer Mid.
