Matt Varga As if it was ever in debate, Nike added an official stamp to the “Triple Black” and “Triple White” being the essential looks for the Uptown with its dotSWOOSH collection earlier in the year, pre-dirtying those “go-with-anything” affairs for a heightened release. But what colorway would come in third? We’ll leave you time to come to your own decision on the matter, but merely by sliding between the two, “Triple Grey” would have an argument. It’s a look that the Swoosh is revisiting with the Nike Air Force 1 Low “College Grey” at hand.
Indeed, the metadata surrounding this edition confirms what official images display: it’s an all-over treatment of the “College Grey” in the title. Furthering its place between all snowy and all-dusky is the fact that this relies on the timeless AF1 construction, leaving mesh collars, leather panels, and rubber sole unit all intact without any hardware tweaks. Even if you’d argue for another tertiary titan to take the #3 spot, the appeal of this pair remains intact, a palette swap on a closet staple that shouldn’t have any issues meeting that same fate.
As a true GR, the Nike Air Force 1 Low “College Grey” will likely populate Nike.com in short order without much in the way of advance warning. Expect the usual $115 retail price.
