From a certain perspective, the Air Force 1 is already one of the hardiest models in the Nike catalog; no matter what climate or weather conditions, you’re guaranteed to spot someone in a pair of Uptowns. However, if you’re more inclined to use product as directed, you can certainly find better silhouettes to bring into the great outdoors. But why sacrifice the everlasting stylishness of Bruce Kilgore’s pair? The Air Force 1 Wild presents a middle ground between each options, and after a hiatus since Summer ’24, the “Light Violet Ore” look at hand helps reintroduce the shoe.

Clearly crafted with the Nike ACG product of old top of mind, the Air Force 1 Wild re-emerges with its signature outdoorsy touches: a tongue pull-tab, Humara-inspired checkered midsole, inner silken bootie. Also consistent with the cult classic sub-brand, an off-kilter blend of “Light Violet Ore/Dark Raisin/Hyper Magenta” coats the shoe, harkening to some of the expressive palettes that made shoes like the Air Mowabb such lasting silhouettes.

The Nike Air Force 1 Wild “Light Violet Ore” isn’t yet available via Nike.com, but is up for grabs at select retailers already. Check our “Where To Buy” section just ahead for direct shopping links.
