From the 1970s and 1980s are a slew of Nike Basketball shoes that are forever enshrined in the “Mount Rushmore” of sneakers. These models are permanently embedded in the game of basketball as these iconic silhouettes act as a vessel for the spirit of hoops to flow through. Of these classics, the Air Force 1 is at the forefront.
Nike Basketball’s Sportswear division is prepared for another “Embedded” collection as we near the All-Star Break and the more crucial games of the season, and thankfully the AF-1 will be a regular player in this rotation. Already revealed in a Lakers-esque purple and yellow, the Air Force 1 Low EMB now emerges in a dark teal overlay matched with a crisp university gold on the Swoosh and branding. The embossed Nike Basketball pattern appears at the mid-panel as the statement detail for this SS23 collection.
Expect a release soon on Nike.com; see official images ahead.
