The NBA season is coming to an end, but we all know that basketball never stops. Paying homage to its heritage is this upcoming Nike Air Force 1 for the summer months. Upon first glance, your eyes are immediately drawn to the trio of Nike Basketball lace locks — black, orange, and white — than run vertically down the throat. This pair starts off with a White leather and textile base that is then accented by the Teal hits on the Swoosh and heel, along with the Burnt Clay accented on the lower half of the heel. An alternate tongue tag atop a classic White AF1 rubber sole completes the design.
