Are These ACRONYM x Nike Air Force 1 Downtown Samples Finally Releasing?

Acronym Nike Air Force 1 Downtown Samples Release Info 01

Updated February 7th, 2017: The ACRONYM x NikeLab Air Force 1 Downtown Hi releases in 3 colorways on February 3rd, 2017 exclusively at NikeLab’s 21 Mercer in NYC.

ACRONYM is known for their head-turning collaborations with Nike Sportswear. Not only have they redefined the Nike Lunar Force 1 in the past, but their take on the Nike Presto was one of last year’s most coveted creations from NSW, and for good reason. But could an oft-forgotten sample from the imprint be coming back based on the success of another lifestyle must-have from the Swoosh in the Nike SF-AF1? All signs are pointing to yes, as ACRONYM’s own Errolson Hugh posted three sketches of the coming ACRONYM Nike Air Force 1 Downtown on his Instagram today, hinting at a coming release.

Samples of the ACRONYM Nike Air Force 1 Downtown have been floating around for over a year now, and while the silhouette is definitely head-turning in its own right, perhaps it needed some momentum from the recently released Nike SF-AF1 to truly get Nike Sportswear behind the design and release the model at retail. The Nike Air Force 1 Downtown has been primarily a women’s silhouette in the past, but ACRONYM adds even more premium details, an updated mid-top strap with a strange buckle contraption, medial side zippers, and unique contrast stitching on the Swoosh side panel branding. We have more detailed shots of past samples that look almost identical to Errolson’s recent sketches, so check them out below.

If you can’t wait for a release announcement regarding the coming ACRONYM Nike Air Force 1 Downtown, know that you can find sample pairs on eBay today.
