These "Denim" Nike Air Force 1 Shoes Are Actually a Deliciously Faded Leather
Nike's Air Force 1, being one of the Swoosh's most popular sneakers to the day, has dropped in basically every make, model, material, and color imaginable. And, yet, denim AF1s are rather rare.
So it goes with even Nike's Air Force 1 "Denim Turquoise," which is yet another leather AF1 sneaker.
Except, this time, it wears a denim-ish hue that recalls a sort of faded indigo like that which you'd see on a pair of well-loved jeans.
Pretty classy stuff, especially when paired with a pale Swoosh and sole, making the classic low-top sneaker as versatile as any other AF1 on the market.
However, yes, it's true that denim AF1 shoes are rather rare. Denim shoes, in general, are a minor Nike rarity, though they're hardly unheard of.
There've been denim Nike Dunks and even denim Air Jordans in the past, to be clear, but save for a wild 2017 NikeID option and a 2019 collaboration with one-time NYC neighbor and denim label 3x1, all-denim Air Force 1 sneakers remain uncommon.
Not that there's a lack of quality Nike Air Force 1s, mind you.
In recent weeks, especially, we've beheld a bevy of delicious options.
Nike's AF1 has taken mushrooms, gone all-black for Paris, and even served a couple skater-style options that turn the ultra-versatile Nike sneaker into a veritable Nike SB thrasher.
Still, wouldn't another proper denim AF1 be nice? Something that could age, fade, and shred over time, I mean.
Kinda defeats the purpose of the famously crisp Nike shoe, perhaps, but there are enough custom denim AF1 sneakers out there to indicate that there's abundant demand for this exact concept.
For now, you can shop all the latest and greatest AF1 models on Nike's site, where the "Denim Turquoise" AF1 will soon release for $125.
