With demands for the retro, throwback look still at a high, Nike is relying on the simpler styles with two-toned colorways that accent the original, intended design. The classic white leather formula allows for the Swoosh to maintain its striking look, ever so exemplified by this upcoming “University Blue” colorway.

Despite the brand’s desire to go off the path and outside the box to expand the Air Force 1 category, these simpler colorways preserve the shoe’s history while still being a trendy item among the older and younger generations. White-on-tone is the ideal choice for matching outfits and representing sports teams, while timeless colors like the Tar Heel blue are a can’t-miss option with a pair of shorts when the weather warms up.

This upcoming release is created in women’s sizing only, so the fellas will have to wait for their turn to pick up a pair for summer. For the ladies: this Air Force 1 Low is arriving soon to Nike.com for $115.

In other AF1 updates, the Air Force 1 “Python Snake” is set to return in 2024.
