The radiance lives on in the Nike Air Force 1 ’07, the b-ball OG that puts a fresh spin on what you know best: durably stitched overlays, clean finishes and the perfect amount of flash to make you shine.
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.
In September 1985, Nike and MJ launched the Air Jordan 1. A month later, they were “banned” by the league. Although the AJ1 is a sports and streetwear icon now, back when the sneakers debuted, they were highly disruptive and instantly revolutionary. While the league may have tried to stop MJ from lacing up in the original AJ1, they couldn’t do anything to temper the fans, so “They Can’t Stop You From Wearing Them” became a defiant rallying cry. Now, the spirit of the sneaker is brought to life through the ‘Rebellionaire’ Air Jordan 1, which features that same not-so-subtle reminder printed all over the style’s upper, and includes a Red “X” mark on the heel to commemorate the birth of the banned legend.
The Air Force 1 Low ‘White Red Sole’ brings a vibrant look to its classic basketball construction. The shoe’s upper is built with leather, featuring a white base highlighted by University Red on the Swoosh, heel patch and tongue tag. Underfoot, more University Red highlights the midsole, which houses Air for cushioning, giving way to a concentric rubber outsole for traction.
The neutral pink palate is a soft change on the Nike Air Max 270. A large Max Air unit and plush foam midsole offer cushioning under every step, while the stretchy inner sleeve provides a snug, socklike fit that’s sure to keep you comfortable all day, every day.
