For the more refined Air Force 1 wearers, Nike continues to roll out premium styles defined by nubuck uppers and stripped-down branding. This “Black Tea” look is the latest of the bunch, available early via Sneaker Politics for $140.

Official images reveal a Black Tea nubuck upper, essentially a dark brown shade, complemented by black on the Swoosh, backtab, and midsole. Like several premium Air Force 1s before it, this pair removes branding from the backtab and lace dubrae for a cleaner, slightly less sporty vibe. These are definitely better suited for autumn and winter than the summer months, but that shouldn’t stop you from copping and stashing if you’re a fan.

The Nike Air Force 1 Premium “Black Tea” is available now via Sneaker Politics and should land hit the Nike website soon. See our Where To Buy section below to cop yours.
