After an onslaught of themed releases and 40th-anniversary editions, it’s great to see the Air Force 1 return to regular programming; but if you know the Air Force 1, “regular” is not a thing for the silhouette. Though this new Air Force 1 Low “Blue Lightning” begins in basic finishes, a small peppering of shiny accents elevates the pair from simple to stunning.
A heavily-tumbled black leather upper works with tonal mesh tongues, color-matched liners and laces, and an all-black sole unit underfoot. It’s the brand embellishments that play the biggest role in the pair’s character, with metallic blue-green Swooshes of the titular hue working with chrome rear overlays and matching silver touches to the tongue branding, forefoot mini Swoosh, and midsole detail.
Expect to see these releases soon alongside a handful of like-color options, including one in white and “Picante Red”. Until concrete news arrives, take the first and official look at the pair below, and keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates on its release.
