Matt Varga Is the Nike Air Force 1 a dad shoe? It’s certainly a topsy-turvy question for dressers of a certain age, watching as the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 becomes a fashion hero and criticism is instead levied at a generational style icon. It’s been enough to frazzle the likes of Fat Joe and Jadakiss, but perhaps Nike recognizes that there’s some credence to the claim.
Since John Donahoe announced that share of perennials like the Jordan 1, Dunk, and Air Force 1 would be reduced to beat back oversaturation, the silhouette has turned down the volume of run-of-the-mill palette swaps, instead aiming to freshen up the energy around the Uptown with new materiality and compositions. Another is on the horizon with the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Woven,” a build that should ring familiar for those who caught New Jersey’s pair late last year.
Building off that regional variation, the usual flat leather that paces the AF1 switches into a chunky weave, manifesting in a crossed ribbon in place of Nike Air tags on the heels. Retro cursive tags on the tongue further this branding overhaul. Even if there’s a new coat of paint figuratively, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Woven doesn’t go too wild in terms of palette; flooded white, “Sanddrift,” and “Wheat” executions bring this build to market.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low Woven should be hitting Nike.com and partnering retailers in short order, potentially carrying a slight premium on the model’s usual pricing.
