Consider this an OG Nike Air Force 1, but in fancy dress. 

The AF1 '07 LV8 "Denim" does exactly what it says on the tin, real denim on the upper, not a wink at the material, actual fabric. The kind of texture that feels lived-in from the moment you put it on. 

Paired with a black and dark smoke grey palette and a gum medium brown outsole, it's the Air Force 1 at its most relaxed. Arguably, when it looks its best, we can’t lie. 

The AF1 has seen countless iterations, yet when it’s all said and done, it always comes back to the understated original. This is that, but better. 

The LV8 details are subtle but considered. Perforated toe box, pivot circles on the rubber outsole, Nike Air cushioning underneath. All the classics, none of the noise. 

And the best part? You can wear these with denim and nobody can stop you. Double denim is still back, apparently, and it hasn’t looked this clean in a while. 

Available for $125 on Nike’s website. G’wan, you know you want to.
