Nike to Debut the Air Force 1 High Utility 2.0 this Winter

Select Model

Though we’re still sitting pretty in Summer, footwear brands have already begun to shift their focus to Fall and Winter-equipped offerings. As always, the Air Force 1 will feature prominently in Mid, High, and Winterized redesigns as the weather begins to turn — the Utility High being one of those. First seen back in 2018, the Swoosh is set to unleash the design’s sophomore silhouette, the Nike Air Force 1 High Utility 2.0, for Winter 2021, and it brings with it some significant changes.

Asides from its leather construction, every facet of the design has been tweaked. The pair boasts a brand new strap and buckle system,, ballistic mesh tongues, and eyestays pushed to the back of the overlay queue. Gone is the so-2018 overbranding at the strap and forefoot, instead opting for solo Swoosh and AF-1 insignia respectively, while bold heel overlays and double-pinned pulls are swapped to something a little more minimal. Opposing the majority of the upper, the design goes big and bold on the sole, with a rugged tread applied to a modified unit underfoot, complete with cross-directional teeth that display the design’s most aggressive features.

The debut colorway — like 2018’s — will arrive in white, sail, and black, with several other options expected to surface soon. Though a release date did not accompany the official imagery below, you should expect to learn more about the Nike Air Force 1 High Utility 2.0 in the coming months.
