Can Lil Boat go back-to-back? Last year, the Atlanta artist made his biggest splash with Nike to date, a red/yellow/green version of the Nike Air Force 1 in patent leather that had (and still has) the resale market in a chokehold. Whether emboldened by that success or it was always in the plan to keep Yachty at the fore, Nike has only increased his star internally in the time since, earning his own booth at ComplexCon, debuting a string of exclusive color-ups, and now, plotting a wide release for the Nike US Force 1 Mid.

Those tracking this story right along with us will know that a yellow/black version was one of the real chase products of the Vegas showcase, featuring croc materials, a jewel Swoosh, and the now-iconic “Concrete Boys” logo on the heel. Jordan Kilgore of the brand Hidden Season now gives us a window into what could be coming from the Yachty empire in the near future, as the multi-hyphenate wore a sporty blue/red while teasing the brand’s upcoming sweats range. In contrast to the ComplexCon version, this pair finds its biggest selling point in bold exposed double stitching encircling every piece of panelling.

We can confirm that two pairs of Lil Yachty x Nike Air Force 1 Mid are expected this Holiday season, including this red/blue featured throughout this piece. We’ll also note that Yachty was pictured wearing a yellow-on-black colorway of this same build (complete with the double stitching), but we’re still sorting through info on whether those will indeed be the second release. For now, check out teaser shots below.
