More about upcoming Nike Air Force 1 Low Split "Light Silver" sneakers
Bruce Kilgore, the legendary sneaker designer of the swoosh label, introduced the legendary Air Force 1 sneaker to the world in 1982.
The shoe model was originally released as a basketball sneaker lineup but has slowly been developed into more of a lifestyle choice. Sneakerheads all over the world don the Air Force 1 Low sneaker as a streetwear look.
The sneaker model has continued to garner the attention of the sneaker community for four decades and has had many collaborative makeovers. It has been recognized for its clean aesthetic and appealing characteristics. The Nike website describes the story and history of the sneaker model as follows:
“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.”
It continues:
"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 sneaker comes clad in a "Light Silver/Black/White/Coconut Milk/Stadium Green" color scheme.
The upper of the sneaker comes constructed out of a mix of tumbled and smooth leather. The tumbled leather in a light silver hue is added on the eyestays, forefoot, heels and half of the swoosh logo. The base of the sneaker is clad in white and comes accentuated on the perforated vamp, tongues, quarter panels, heel tabs and tongue tags.
The tongue tag features unusual branding with half retro and half modern "Nike" logo. The same detail is added on the heel tabs and insoles with half black and half stadium green branding. The look is finished off with coconut milk midsoles and 'light silver/white' rubber outsoles.
The sneaker pair is rumored to drop via Nike, SNKRS and select retailers in 2023 for $130.
