The “White-on-White” Air Force 1 has been doing its down for three decades, and even in today’s sneaker horizon where crazy materials and colors are ‘in’, the classic White continues to be one of the top sellers every year.

NIKE AIR FORCE 1 LOW WEEK PART 3
Playing off yesterday’s feature of the ‘Scarface’ Air Force 1 Low is the ‘Halloween’ colorway that followed just a few months after that release. Halloween-inspired kicks have been a long-standing tradition for the Nike Air Force 1 Low, but this colorway stands out with the similar two-toned color-blocking in patent leather and the ghoulish logo placed on the heel, tongue, and insole. Like yesterday’s release Scarface release, these don’t command nearly as much some of the heavy-hitting Air Force 1s we’ve previously featured on Classics Revisited, but of the Halloween releases, these might be the best! Check out a gallery below and stay tuned for a new chapter of Classics Revisited next week.

NIKE AIR FORCE 1 LOW WEEK PART 3
Every hip-hop artist’s favorite gangster’s favorite movie is Scarface, starring Al Pacino, an M16 assault rifle, and a whole lot of confectioners sugar. In 2006, Nike Sportswear released one of the most polarizing Air Force 1 colorways with the ‘Scarface’ tribute, which featured the most alternative color-blocking ever done on a sneaker. Basically the sneaker was chopped in half with a White/Black colorway, going entirely white on the lateral sides and black on the medial (even the tongue label) to match the iconic Scarface movie poster. While these don’t have the massive drawing power as some of the earlier Air Force 1s featured on Classics Revisited, these deserve a spotlight for its unique design! More of the Scarface after the jump, so take a look and let us know what you think.

NIKE AIR FORCE 1 LOW WEEK PART 3
The recent unveiling of the ‘Snakeskin’ colorway of the newly build Nike Air Force 1 Low Downtown reminds us of another AF1 banger – this Premium-grade build dubbed the ‘Cocoa’. The Air Force 1 re-issues were traditionally build with tougher materials like leather and suede until this amazing Japan-exclusive surfaced, with the cocoa brown colored luxurious material being matches with a basic White/Black colorway. In 2005, an unofficial ‘Retro’ of the Air Force 1 Low ‘Cocoa’ emerged, but with a different snakeskin pattern and a reversed Black/White upper. Forgot about these heaters? That’s what Classics Revisited is for! More of the Cocoa Snake after the jump.
