Michael Le Left on the backburner for quite some time, Nike’s themes of “Hot and Cold” are seemingly making their way to the spotlight yet again. Though it may deceive of its association upon first glance, the Air Force 1 here is undoubtedly an extension of the pack as it features UV reactive panels and some icy blues.

Tumbled white leathers lean on the tried-and-true, while the lace unit, lining, and the like follow a similar moderation. Only the dubrae and sole provide any sort of hint as they dress up in cooling tones. And though the pair’s qualities may seem to end there, once UV is directly applied, the Swoosh and heel tab turn a dark blue and deep red, respectively.
