The Nike Air Force 1’s 40th Anniversary Continues With A “Malachite” Makeover

The Nike Air Force 1’s 40th Anniversary Continues With A “Malachite” Makeover

The Nike Air Force 1’s 40th anniversary hasn’t offered much in terms of high-profile collaborations, but it’s delivered dozens of compelling solo efforts from the Swoosh.

Recently, Bruce Kilgore’s iconic design from 1982 emerged in an eye-catching mix of “Malachite,” blue, gold and white colors. The majority of the leather upper indulges in a rich green hue and is only interrupted by the profile swooshes, upper heel overlays and non-standard miniature logos at the lateral quarter panel. Hardware at the vamp and top eyelets boast a shimmering metallic finish that injects a touch of luxury into the Air Force 1 Low. Additionally, debossed “40” emblems onto the lateral heel work in-tandem with the tongue labels to commemorate the sneaker’s 40th birthday. Underfoot, sole units maintain things relatively simple, although details across the made-for-basketball tread bring some of the upper’s flair down below.

Enjoy official images of the pair ahead, as you await firm Nike.com release details.

In related sneaker news, the Air Jordan 2 “Chicago” returns before 2022 ends.
