Silhouettes such as the Air Force 1, Outburst and Blazer set the foundation of Nike’s footwear during the dawn of the swoosh. As time passed, daring takes on these classic shoes brought new colorways and material updates to the modern era. This version boasts a minimalist, yet deconstructed suede upper with seam lines that define the aesthetic of the shoe. Perforations on the toe box, branded lace dubraes, embossed branding on the tongue label and heel tabs, followed by a clean white rubber sole tops off the design.
Check out the photos and expect this shoe to release on August 9th at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $120 USD.
