Nike Air Force 1 Low NAI-KE Olive Canvas Item NO.: 3816368

'All Pics 100% Real Shots'

As the sneaker world awaits for the Nike Air Force 1 Low’s high-profile collaborations to drop, Bruce Kilgore’s 40-year-old design continues to appear on compelling solo efforts from the brand. Recently, the made-for-basketball sneaker emerged in a faded olive green ensemble as part of the North American sportswear giant’s “NAI-KE” collection, which pays homage to Japan and its footwear-obsessed subculture. The upcoming pair isn’t the first to feature kanji characters throughout the upper – most notably the Achilles’ heel – spelling out the phonetic pronunciation of “Nike” (“NAI-KE”). Canvas construction across the latest low-top Air Force 1 is accompanied by cross-shaped stitching at the mid-foot panels, as well as other patterns on the spine and tongue. Lace dubraes seemingly boast an up-cycled build that fits with the hand-crafted, Japanese-inspired theme that takes over Kilgore’s creation. Underfoot, sole units deviate from the faded olive green flair in favor of a slightly-yellowed look that delivers a touch of age to the 1982 design’s upcoming release.
