Get ready to fall in love. Nike’s February 2021 release of the popular low-top silhouette is dedicated solely to the heartwarming holiday. These Air Force 1 “Valentine’s Day Love Letter” sneakers are crafted from soft panels of tulip pink and university red suede and feature a delicate “True Love Since ‘82” along the mid-panel. Finished with signature Nike branding in the way of a bold Swoosh logo and embroidered “Air” logo, the low-top pair are sure to catch your eye.
This actually isn’t the first time that the Kobe, Japan-based brand has applied a grayscale approach to this silhouette, but we haven’t seen this particular colorway before. The mixture of materials is very similar to previous GEL-NYC releases; the predominantly “Black” upper is nicely contrasted by a shiny silver overlay, and “Graphite Gray” appears throughout the sole, with a nice gradient shift at the midsole.
The Knu Skool is a modern interpretation of a classic 90s style, defined by its puffed up tongue and 3D-molded Sidestripe, and tied off with oversized, chunky laces. With its in-your-face profile and dramatic style details, the Knu Skool plays off of the original Old Skool while blending an icon of the past with today’s trends.
