The Swoosh label has been great at celebrating special days and their sponsored teams. After previously releasing makeovers for Jackie Robinson, the Phillies, and the Dodgers, the latest "Oakland Athletics" suit represents the team via the low-top tooling of Air Force 1.

The Bruce Kilgore-designed sneaker model was released as a part of the basketball shoe lineup and was released to the public in 1982. The model quickly gained popularity among sneakerheads with its minimalistic, clean, and sophisticated outlook.

The sneaker has gained popularity as a streetwear shoe throughout time. The official site introduces the sneaker model and its pop-cultural relevance in the last four decades:

"Debuting in 1982 as a basketball must-have, the Air Force 1 came into its own in the '90s. The clean look of the classic white-on-white AF1 was endorsed from the basketball courts to the block and beyond.”

The site further introduces the model:

"Finding its rhythm in hip-hop culture, releasing limited collabs and colorways, Air Force 1 has become an iconic sneaker around the globe. And with over 2000 iterations of this staple, its impact on fashion, music and sneaker culture can’t be denied.”

The latest Air Force 1 Low model follows the color scheme of Oakland Athletics. The upper of the shoe is constructed out of tumbled leather material. The base of the sneakers comes clad in a crisp white hue, which can be seen accentuated upon the perforated toe boxes, mid-panels, tongues, and plain cotton laces.

Yellow overlays that are affixed to the forefoot, lacing system, heel counters, and ankles contrast with the white color. The forest green accented on the tongue tags and heel tabs adds another hue to the mix.

The look is finished off with the jet-black hue accentuated by the profile swooshes on both the medial and lateral profiles. The pair is rumored to be released via Nike and select retailers in grade-school sizes at a retail price of $90.
