In recent years, Nike, Inc. has honored its unofficial alignment with some of the biggest cultural moments in music. With recent releases like the “Bronx Origins” Air Force 1, the “Mix CD” Foamposite Ones, and the “Cleveland Rocks” Blazer Mid, the Swoosh has begun to recognize the role it’s played in the music scene. Furthering that acknowledgment, Nike will be preparing a special collection dubbed “Nike Classics,” which honors 50 years of hip-hop.
Fittingly, the pack is inclusive of several Classic silhouettes, including the Air Force 1 Low, a Nike Blazer Mid, and a Nike Dunk High. The collection shares a few key traits: Parental Advisory-inspired “Nike Classics” insoles, cassette motifs at the tongue, and silver-grey detail that replicates worn-out tape, the technology of the last century. the laltter is replicated on the matte silver overlays, which pop all the more atop a jet-black tumble leather upper. Bright white Swooshes fit the theme to a T, and so too do aged-look accents applied to the midsole. The pair is then completed by special anniversary tongue tags, graphic insoles, and golden microphone hangtags.
Grab an official look at this hip-hop-influenced Nike Air Force 1 High “Nike Classic” below, and expect to learn more about its incoming release right here on our official Twitter account in the coming weeks.
