Month: October 2022

This year marks the 40th birthday of the Nike Air Force 1. Its origins began on the basketball court back in 1982 but quickly became a staple in global hip-hop culture. As the celebratory year continues, Nike has prepared several festive releases to honor the iconic silhouette. The latest release to join the line-up is the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Bronx Origins,” which pays tribute to the borough’s musical legacy. Soaked in historical notions, the upper is constructed from tumbled white leather, featuring distinctive black medial Swooshes with a scored finish. Gilded lace dubraes see embossed detailing promoting the years “1973” and “1982,” the latter signifying the model’s debut. Rear pull-tabs don illustrative branding, while tongue tags see “Anniversary Edition” text in sophisticated cursive lettering. Graphic insoles are printed with a spinning “Bronx Origins” vinyl record, completing the design with white midsoles and milky semi-translucent bottoms that allow the same phrase to peek through. The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Bronx Origins” is set to hit shelves on October 14 via Nike and select retailers for $150 USD.Elsewhere in footwear, here’s how to get your hands on HAL STUDIOS®’s ASICS GEL-1130 “FOREST” collaboration.

Tartan fabrics encapsulating the tones used in the colorway are spread along the collars and heel counter while additional dark brown accents are found on the heel tab embroidery and tongue tags. Rounding out the look are sail white midsoles and caramel-toned rubber outsoles.Take an official look at the holiday-ready Nike Air Force 1 Lows above and look for the plaid-patterned pairs to arrive soon via Nike and at select retailers for $130 USD.

40 years of the Air Force 1 continue to be celebrated with collaborations and new colorways. Expanding on this celebration, Nike has now presented a look that features snakeskin Swooshes. For a style as popular as the Air Force 1, it’s no surprise that it has seen its fair share of exotic looks over the years. Snakeskin Air Force 1 releases in recent years include reissues of 2001’s Air Force 1 B “3M Snake” and the 1996 Asia exclusive “Ivory Snake” that this colorway is updating.Favoring a light gray leather upper as opposed to the white one found on the “Ivory Snake” edition, this Air Force 1 Low keeps it simple with a reptilian twist. Both the Swooshes and heel branding feature a snakeskin base, with the heel branding favoring a embroidered Nike Air logo in light gray. The look is complemented by the silhouette’s standard sole unit found in an off-white color.Release for the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Snakeskin” is expected to take place in the coming months via Nike and select retailers in women’s sizing.
