As corny as this may sound, but ever since nelly dropped the song ‘Air Force 1” back in 2002 along with the video of him and the St. Lunatics buying up each pair the shoe has become an iconic classic. The Air Force 1 will never go away, it’s here to stay and will continue to evolve. Nike decided to do something really innovative with the Air Force 1 and came up with the idea of incorporating a military boot combined with the Air Force. Military boots are known for being extremely high and rugged, which Nike used to incorporate into the SF (Special Field) Air Force 1.
Nike used “ripstop ballistic nylon” to create the hightop of the shoe but kept the upper simple by sticking the classic aspect of the shoe with genuine leather, and finished with a amazing gum bottom. The recent version that was released is the ‘Desert Camo” colorway that resembles an exact military boot. On top of that, Nike also decided to throw in a military bag with each par. This new model is simply amazing and has become a fashion staple for 2017. Check the nike video below and the new images of the recent released ‘Desert Camo” colorway, and in the words Nelly “I need two pair!”
