Nike’s Customizable AF 1/1 Confirmed for Dec. 17 Drop

Select Model

Of late, Nike has put the ball in your court when it comes to styling your kicks. Though customization has long been an aspect of wider sneaker culture, only recently have brands jumped on the bandwagon with options that enable the wearer to tweak, tear, color, or wear-away the sneaker to their liking. The earliest (and easiest) form of this has always been Velcro, with interchangeable tongue tags or Checks being the primary movers. This time, though, Nike is giving you the option to stick-on or rip-off entire panels in addition to the aforementioned, with this upcoming Nike AF 1/1 enabling you to remove or add toe boxes, mid panels, quarters, Swooshes, heel overlays and tongue tags. The black velcro base enables the customization of the white and Cosmic Clay overlays to really pop, and its all the mere striking sitting in between crisp white eyelets and sole units.

Though this first-up offering is seen here with white components, there will likely be more colorways in the works to better expand its modular variety. Grab a first look at the Nike AF 1/1 here below, and sit tight for further updates on their impending Nike.com release.
