Sneaker News It was hard to pick one favorite from all the high-heat product showcased during the brand’s Nike 2024 preview on SNKRS. Fans of Air Max have the forgotten Sunder to look forward to, while ACG nuts are pleasured by the re-release of the Exploraid. But for the larger Air Force 1 community, Nike came correct with its latest “City Pack”, continuing a tradition of regional-inspired concoctions that dates back decades.
Nike confirms three cities to be part of the exclusive group: Shanghai, Seoul, and Las Vegas. The last of the three shouldn’t be much of a surprise; while the desert was once known for high-stakes gambling and shotgun weddings, Sin City is now one of the fastest-growing areas in the West. American sports franchises continue to set up shop on the strip, globally relevant occasions such as the F1 Grand Prix touch down on an annual basis, and now Nike is putting it on the sneaker map with this decorative Air Force 1 Low.
Arriving loud and proud, the Vegas AF1s feature two tones of bright pink, mimicking the attractive neon lights that dot the strip at nighttime. Appropriately, Nike adds some glamour via the golden stars as lace dubrae. Keeping to the roots of the city’s history in gaming, golden dice are embroidered on the back side of the tongue alongside “Since ’82” — a nod to the Air Force 1’s origin year. Just behind the heel, Nike chants “Read ’em and weep,” claiming a winning hand with this design.
Again, Las Vegas is one of three Air Force 1 “City Pack” drops arriving in Spring 2024; stay tuned for a first detailed look at the Shanghai and Seoul pairs.
