ACRONYM and NikeLab Releasing Third Collaboration Today

ACRONYM has been on the minds of nearly every sneakerhead for quite some time now. While their lauded Nike Presto collaboration is still going for insane prices in the resale market and helped push Nike Sportswear’s current aesthetic for the Spring 2017 season into a more avante-garde feel to appeal to the premium menswear nature of the sneaker world, that wasn’t always the case. Co-founder Errolson Hugh’s designs have always been polarizing: plenty of people outright hated the debut ACRONYM Lunar Force 1 collaboration until the bold look stood apart from the pack based on just how different the construction was. The same can probably be said about the coming ACRONYM x NikeLab Air Force 1 Downtown, available in three colorways exclusively at NikeLab 21 Mercer tonight at 6PM EST.

The boundary-pushing formula continues on the ACRONYM Nike Air Force 1 Downtown. Hugh’s design features technical devotion in the form of an extra-high extended ankle collar that utilizes a German mil-spec fastener for lockdown support. Additional brass zippers hit the medial side while pleated paneling for a futuristic lifestyle form with contrast stitching throughout. Which colorway is your favorite? Check out more detailed photos below and we’ll keep you updated on a more widespread release in the coming weeks right here on Sneaker News.
