Right at the top of the new year, NIKE iD brought back the elephant print options for the customizable side of the Nike Air Force 1. Just recently they covertly upgraded that option, allowing those of you who are designing your own pair of Uptowns to do so with a new black and metallic gold elephant print. Hit the jump with us for a few samples of the look (one that can extend all the way down to the midsole if you so desire) and then go flex your colorblocking prowess with the new metallic gold elephant print option over at NIKE iD.

It seems practically unthinkable when you consider the fame of the white-on-whites and sheer number of other Nike Air Force 1 Low motifs that we’ve never seen the most popular Uptown in perforated leather. But each of the white leather AF1 Lows that’ve preceded this perfed-out edition have featured at least one accent color (be careful and shop with reputable sources; a fake similar to these has been floating around on the shady parts of the net that you can distinguish from this upcoming release because the impostor is too densely perforated and rocks a wonky Swoosh). Expect the genuine article at select Nike Sportswear retailers for Q2 and stick with Sneaker News for updates after you’ve seen more photos below.

AF1 fans went hard as a mother lover when the heralded elephant print became an available option on Nike iD last year, but NSW is ready to break the mold for good when it drops some more elephant print colorways this Summer 2013 season. This Grey/Navy colorway is paired with an odd mix of teal and a fireberry-like pink, with the latter two tones mixing it up on the elephant print panel on the heel. Based on the mesh interior lining, these appear to be something of a non-Premium/Supreme release, meaning easier absorption on the wallet! Check out this exclusive gallery below and let us know what other colorways you’d like to see the AF1 use with elephant print. Many thanks to Rooog!

The Nike Air Force 1 Low continues to go under minor reconstruction for 2013 as we’ve already seen the classic ’82-born basketball model receive several new builds. It seems like a focused direction for the AF1 is the goal to get slimmer, and although this upcoming No-Liner Vac Tech build isn’t nearly as low-profile as the Downtown model, it achieves that sleek look thanks to the lack of an inner liner as well as the seamless VT molding on the rear. The materials on the upper are that of synthetic leather and nubuck, so it is likely that these are one of several general release colorways that will hit NSW accounts this Summer 2013 season. A full gallery is just below so take a look and let us know what you think. Many thanks to Rooog.

With 2013 being the “Year of the Snake“, the sick sneaker ideas are pretty much laid out on a silver platter. Snakeskin has always been a popular choice for premium-grade kicks, with the slithery, glossy surface above the scaly pattern giving shoes an unmatched level of fierce luxury. The 2013 installment of zodiac-inspired Nikes is indeed the Air Force 1 Low, seen here in the University Red/Black-Court Purple colorway; it features a daring red/black snakeskin on the upper with a sick black snakeskin-wrapped midsole for a Bespoke-like touch of class. Additional details include the fangs on the lace dubrae, the ’2013′ flap on the heel, and the Snake logo on the tongue. Enjoy the detailed gallery below and stay tuned for a U.S. release as these are already up for grabs at overseas retailers such as Sneakersnstuff.

Sneaker News just spotlighted the high and low ‘Year of the Snake’ Air Force 1s, but regular readers realize these are far from the only scale-detailed AF1s this season. Here’s another of the subtler manifestations, a new Nike WMNS Air Force 1 Low in Hyper Red and white that from afar appears similar to the large and still growing number of Uptowns blocked in this style. But take a closer look, and you realize the overlay sections feature a subtle serpentine texture, a timely finish that’ll have these flying off the shelves from Nike Sportswear retailers like Oneness.
