Nike’s Faded Forces Are Beautiful Baskets in Sneaker Form
We may be fresh into the spring season, but the Nike Air Force 1 is already showing off its summer bod.
The sportswear brand has given its timeless model a summer-ready makeover, resulting in a tasteful and breezy Air Force 1 Low '07 LV8 sneaker.
Hairy woven textures make up the sneaker's underlays, while sumptuous suede gets laid on top. It's almost like a beautiful handmade basket in sneaker form, but not quite an Easter basket (Nike already did those).
However, like the gifts delivered by the Easter Bunny, these Forces are also quite the treat.
And it gets better.
The entire Air Force 1 sneaker is bathed in this pleasing "Dusty Olive" colorway, creating a faded, vintage-style green look.
Nike also offers the woven Air Force 1 in "Off-White" and "Black" colorways, which are now available on the brand's website for $125.
But regarding "Dusty Olive" pairs, they're on Footdistrict's website for €120, which is around $139 at current exchange rates.
We've been blessed with wedding-worthy patent leather Forces and even Miu Miu-level pairs. These woven iterations are but another summery gift from the Swoosh gods.
