Jovani Hernandez As the world awaits for the Nike Air Force 1 Low to drop in some of its high-profile collaborations, Bruce Kilgore’s 40-year-old design is exploring some new styles on its own. The latest?: A greyscale option featuring cut-out profile swooshes.
While far from the first pair of shoes to reimagine the iconic sidewalls’ logos, the upcoming Air Force 1 is seemingly part of a larger collection given a similar colorway that emerged recently. Tumbled leather underlays visible at the toe box, midfoot and spine boast the darkest shade of grey found on the offering, which is seldom the case across Nike Sportswear products. Laces, tongues and inner lining also indulges in a darker tone, though branding on the tongue label and the cut-out swooshes at the profiles introduce pitch-“Black” contrast into the mix. Underfoot, the made-for-basketball sole unit sports all three aforementioned tones, with the tread opting for the sneakers’ dark grey proposition.
Enjoy official images of the style here below, and expect a Nike SNKRS release soon.
