The Nike Air Force 1 is touted as the first basketball shoe to feature Air cushioning technology. Now, Nike is ready to expose the units, carving out the midsole to reveal the revolutionary gas-filled pockets.

Not that this is the first time Nike made the Air visible in the Air Force 1, but this is the first instance in which an external unit is embedded into the sole. The outer edge of the platform peeks out of the sidewalls like all Air Max units do, occurirng both at the heel and forefoot. The outsole features a specific pattern detailing the exact zones of visible Air.

Furthermore, this Air Force 1 Mid (actual name TBD) features uneven cut-out detailing on the Swoosh and the heel tab. Additionally, the standard mid-foot strap on the Air Force 1 Mid is shortened so that it only covers across the tongue.

These are truly a unique spin on the Air Force 1 Mid, so stay tuned for a release later this Holiday 2023 season.
