Jovani Hernandez Although the Tokyo Olympics have been postponed until next year, NIKE, Inc. has moved forward with its patriotic-release roster. Soon joining a handful of other Nike Sportswear silhouettes is arguably the most patriotic model in North American footwear history: the Nike Air Force 1.
Red, white and blue color schemes aren’t foreign to the 1982 design named after POTUS’ aircraft. In fact, the “White/Varsity Red/Sport Royal” on this forthcoming Air Force 1 Low is near identical to an “Independence Day” release from 2004. The trio of hues divvies up the Air Force’s iconic leather panels as it did 16 years ago, but “Sport Royal” takes over tags on the tongues, tongue and collar lining and heel overlays (most of these details were “Varsity Red” on original pairs). Lace guards and midsoles also don minor tweaks as they boast “White” makeups that differ from last decade’s “Independence Day” drop. The scarlet-tone also joins in on the updated-fun as it animates the sockliner.
A release date is not yet known for this low-top Air Force 1, but pairs may arrive to Nike.com ahead of July 4th. For now, enjoy official images of the shoes here below.
Elsewhere under The Swoosh umbrella, images of an Air Max 90 Orange Camo have emerged.
