The past few weeks have seen Nike’s latest grade school exclusive collection begin to formulate its broader roster of offerings. Reserved to only include the iconic Air Force 1, the Bruce Kilgore design’s mid-top trim joins the Beaverton brand’s upcoming floral-infused aesthetic.
Reminiscent of the dandelion tongue tags that adorned the G-Dragon Air Force 1, the upper’s clad-black leather base layer is anchored in a fields-worth of bright pink and red flowers that sprout at random from the vamp to the heel. Accompanied by 3D flower tags at the ankle strap, the heritage-imbued silhouette composes the second half of its monochrome backdrop with a crisp white midsole and set of laces. In a subtle contrast, the crimson red shade returns to outfit the insoles, heel tabs, tread and tongue tab logos.
Alongside two low-tops featuring tan and green-accented flowers, the grade school-exclusive Air Force 1 Mid “Floral” is expected to release in the coming weeks. While we await an official release date, the pair can be seen ahead in detailed imagery.
