Ben Felderstein In early August, a golden-clad Air Force 1 surfaced right around the time of Toronto’s annual Caribana Festival in celebration of West Indian pride. Now, alongside another boisterously-colored Air Max 95, the two NSW offerings make up 2018’s “West Indies” pack. Celebrating this rich heritage is nothing new for the Swoosh, as a plethora of AF1 creations have released in the past bearing the same tropical tree logo you see plastered onto the lateral midfoot of that silhouette in this collection. Vibrant color schemes are the theme of this pack, as both selections come done up with striking gold elements as well as an array of nearly every color of the rainbow. A crackled aesthetic dresses up the Forces entire upper, while a majestic marbled motif is added to the racing stripes of the 95, with each iconic sneaker calling upon a familiar speckled graphic. Whether you are just finishing up celebrating Brooklyn’s West Indian parade on Monday, or just looking for a wild new sneaker to add to your rotation, head over to Nike.com right now to make your pick.
