One of Nike’s most popular silhouettes, the Air Force 1 Low, is now slated for a premium upgrade, with the “Light Bone” release, featuring high-quality textured leather, suede, ripstop and mesh.The shoe’s “Summit White” base is layered with panels of premium “Light Bone,” which then see a standout but not overly loud “Cargo Khaki” Swooshes layered on top. Other accents in the “Cargo Khaki” color include the tongue labels, top lace eyelet and the lace deubré.Follow the swooshes to the back and you’re met with the “Nike Air” logo at the heel in a contrasting Clear Jade, which is also found at the insole and has been used in other recent inline releases like the fan named “Back to the Future” AF1.Lastly, tying it all together is the premium AF1’s rope laces, presented in a vibrant “Vivid Sulfur” with minor accents of white and khaki speckled throughout. The shoe’s liner is also made to match, featuring the very same “Vivid Sulfur” hues — all sat on top of a white midsole and grey rubber outsole.The new “Light Bone” AF1 Low Premium is expected to release during the holiday season for $145 USD and will be available on Nike’s official site and select authorized retailers.In other footwear news, see how earthy tones cover this Nike Air Force 1 Low.

August is here and with that comes the onslaught of fall-oriented products from brands. For Nike, this has included reveals such as its quarterly Jordan Brand preview. Beyond that, the Air Force 1 has played a notable role in recent announcements. Just last week the brand teased its new twist to the silhouette — the outdoors-focused Air Force 1 Wild. Joining this, everything from a “Halloween”-themed pair and a look celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop has popped up.The latest take to hit the AF1 is a fall-ready blend prepared on a mixed material build. Kicking things off, the base has been constructed with “Vintage Green” in a ballistic nylon, serving a heightened level of weather resistance. From there, a muted suede appears in a deep cream at the overlays with a chocolate brown spotted at the tumbled leather Swooshes, mesh tongue and lining. Elsewhere, the laces balance off-white with hits of brown while the midsole accomplishes a similar blend, resting just above a gum outsole.At the time of writing, Nike has not disclosed any release details regarding this colorway of the Air Force 1 Low. Look for it to touch down on shelves via the Swoosh and select retailers at a price of $135 USD by the end of the year.Looking for more headlines from the footwear industry? We’ve got you covered.

One of the far-reaching trends of the early ’20s thus far is the “Panda” look — particularly on the Nike Dunk. Hitting the masses courtesy of the Dunk Low in particular, Nike has capitalized on the craze with a myriad of takes — including the recently-revealed “Red Panda” twist and the all-leather Dunk Mid version of the “Panda” look. Looking back at its history, we assembled a breakdown of the best “Panda” looks of all time earlier this year.Now, another colorway has entered the conversation with a “Vintage Panda” edition of the Dunk Low. The usual white leather base is present with the overlays favoring black cracked leather, offering a retro feel on the sneaker. A black ribbed lining is visible with a slight off-white hue gracing the laces. Elsewhere, the midsole has been yellowed to further back the vintage appeal while a black rubber outsole offers contrast in the typical “Panda” arrangement.Having just surfaced officially via the Swoosh, no release details pertaining to the Nike Dunk Low “Vintage Panda” have been disclosed just yet. However, you can expect it to land on shelves via Nike and select retailers by the end of the year at a $125 USD price point.Looking for more of the latest news from the footwear industry?
