There are few looks as classic in the Beaverton archives as a two-tone Nike Air Force 1. While a common sight on official Nike channels and partnering retailers, there’s still plenty of room for the Swoosh to iterate on that classic formula. Case in point, this pair in “Safety Orange,” coming your way as a part of the FW ’24 slate.

Leaning on the “default” arrangement of the Uptown, an all-white sneaker is the jumping off point, but tangerine accents creep on via the outsole, Swoosh and branding notes pasted at the tongue and heel. Simply because of the sheer experimentation that has taken to the Air Force 1 over the years, this sort of simplistic take on the silhouette now carries a vintage appeal, perhaps influenced in this case by the colorway’s proximity to the once-inescapable “Syracuse” Dunk Low.

Regardless of its resemblance to other Nike mainstays, there aren’t many models in the Nike catalog as easily-styled as the Nike Air Force 1 Low, so if you’re looking to inject some new flair into your rotation, look no further. The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Safety Orange” is expected to hit Nike.com and select retailers in short order, carrying a $115 retail price when it does.
