The original Nike Sky Force debuted in 1984 and served as a predecessor to a number of well known basketball-turned lifestyle kicks of today such as the Nike Dunk and Nike Terminator. In 1988, the Nike Sky Force returned in a Low and High version, featuring leather uppers and a re-designed construction with a toebox similar to the Nike Court Force of 1987. Arriving in Spring 2011 is the Nike Sky Force Retro with a vintage pre-yellowed treatment on the midsole and distressed leather material. Everything about this shoe screams ’80’s’, like the flat-footed traction, gaudy branding on the tongue, and as the ribbed corduroy-like ankle liner that was also used in later Nike Basketball releases at the turn of the decade. Check out the images of the upcoming Sky Force Vintage Retro after the jump. via Provider.
