Michael Le Nike’s “lore” expands beyond even what actually exists. As far back as the Roswell Rayguns, the brand has had a penchant for making up fictional teams and clubs, using their names as a vehicle for numerous releases. Recently founded, the “Athletic Club” is one of latest to open up membership, welcoming many pairs inclusive of these two Air Force 1s.
The “Athletic Club” mark dresses both the tongue and heel tab, hued in red, white, and blue regardless of backdrop. In one case, the stamp sits atop a neutral-dominant mix of white and grey — the latter applied atop suede, the former atop leather. An azure-like blue, then, infuses an extra dose of color across the Swoosh. On the colorway opposite, the fixture opts for a bright pop of yellow, which stands out heavily against the black and white paneling behind.
Enjoy a look at club’s newest members here and sit tight as they’re sure to hit Nike.com and select retailers very soon in full family sizes.
