Spring is in the air, officially as of late March, and sneaker brands are now entirely free to explore the newfound warmer weather throughout their offerings.

With clear inspiration from the Air Force 1 “Roses,” breakout hit in 2022 that became a mini resale darling around the time of its release, Nike has already been tackling that challenge head-on with a separate, newer run on the Uptown. Delivering a new “Roses” edition and a “Cherry Blossom” shortly thereafter, the AF1 has celebrated all of the flora the season has to offer, now hitting colorful fare iwth the “Persian Violet” colorway at hand. Though our botanical identification skills are far behind ours in the realm of footwear, a sprightly blue bell meets green Air embossing to create a real stem, before that season-ready tonality influences a double lace above.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Persian Violet” should be coming to Nike.com and partnering retailers soon. Be ready for a $115 retail price in women’s sizing.
