Available Now // Nike Air Force 1 Fontanka “Pearl White”

39 years after its inception, Bruce Kilgore would never have imagined the impact that his Air Force 1 would have on footwear. Surely that will be celebrated in a big way come 2022 for the design’s 40th anniversary, but for the best part of two decades, the silhouette has shown that it can adapt to modern trends through color, material, collaboration, and even reformation. The latter has been the move for the past few years, with everything from Pixelated pairs to deconstructed designs flooding shelves. Theis brand-new Nike Air Force 1 Fontanka fits somewhere in-between with offset, glitched outsoles, and overlays, while deconstructed values like fly-away eyestays, rolling stitchwork, and double tongues tackle the trend. Keeping with Nike’s continual upgrading, the pair is also fitted with React cushioning, hence the pair’s lack of Air branding.

The next colorway to appear is as minimal as the silhouette’s debut “Opti Yellow”, with just two tones making up the release. Here, it’s the titular Pearl White hue that hits the entirety of the leather and suede upper — save the trio of tongue Swooshes — as well as the liners, laces, and sole units. The only deviation from the all-cream anchor is a handful of bold red pops at the midsole’s React panels, secondary tonge branding, and insole detail.

An official Nike.com release for the Nike Air Force 1 Fontanka “Pearl White” is yet to be revealed, but it’s likely that, given the colorway, the pair will arrive for the late Summer season. Until then, you can enjoy a first look at the pair here below, and keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates.
