Having Traveled Through Time & Terrain, the Air Force 1's Now Officially "On Tour"
Named after the world’s most famous aircraft, the Nike Air Force 1 was destined to cross borders, but few could have predicted quite how international the silhouette would become.
Not only crossing physical borders, but also cultural boundaries, the Air Force 1 is one of the most famous subcultural signifiers ever, and the Nike Air Force 1 ‘On Tour’ pays homage to the model’s ability to connect people and places.
Originally previewed in Kids’ sizes, adult-sized sneakerheads will be glad to know that the Nike Air Force 1 On Tour has now been confirmed for a full size run.
Landing in two colorways—black and white—the design features the names of cities around the world, from Honolulu to Lagos, with Nike’s hometown of Beaverton taking pride of place on the Swoosh logo.
While the white pair boasts multicolor embroidery throughout, the black pair keeps things more toned-down with grey detailing, ideal for those who like to keep a low-profile.
One of the greatest strengths of the Air Force 1 is its recognizability. Even with multicolored embroidery throughout the upper, it’s unmistakably itself and retains its fan-favorite DNA.
That’s also why this pack, although loud, still feels easy to style and super versatile. As the weather clears up and we head into the sunny season, this is the perfect pair to pack on your international travels.
