Another 40th Anniversary Air Force 1 Appears

Select Model

40 years is a long time to remain the center of attention, but the Air Force 1 has never shied away from the spotlight; in fact, one would say that the silhouette is lapping it up this year, with its 40th-anniversary celebrations discussed on a daily basis. Most of that sprouts from the continual run of celebratory releases, like this new Air Force 1 Low which continues a themed series of specialist releases.

Uppers of golden-orange leather and sole units of white provide the pairs anchor, before a slew of red accents flood the pair. Leather heel and Check overlays, forefoot mini Swooshes, midsole paint, and special “1”-branded tongue tags are all prominanet finishes, as are the 82-22 insole motifs. The 40th-anniversary celebration comes into play again at the lateral ankle via barely-there debossing, with metallic gold dubraes and upper eyelets adding a touch of extra importance. Lastly, the pair is completed by retro Nike Air heel branding that’s in line with Bruce Kilgore’s original text specs.

While an official release date for this celebratory Nike Air Force 1 Low has yet to be revealed, the surfacing of product imagery would suggest that a release is on the way.
