Nike's "Dirty Triple White" Air Force 1 Low Gets Cleaner with Wear

Regardless of your stance on dirty sneakers, it seems Nike is having some fun with the topic through the development of a "Dirty Triple White" Air Force 1 Low.

Shared across social media by Brendan Dunne from Complex, the pair is a conceptual project set to launch exclusively across the U.S. in early May. Instead of arriving crisp out-of-the-box, the shoe appears heavily worn, featuring faux creasing and dirt accumulated across the leather upper and sole unit. A card included with the pair—at least seeded ones—explains the idea behind the "Dirty Triple White" release: the more it's worn, the cleaner it becomes.

The science behind how the team at Nike was able to achieve a reverse-effect on Bruce Kilgore's iconic design isn't explained on the card, but Dunne shares that the upper "wears away." The brand has also included a toothbrush with each pair to allow wearers clean their sneakers without having to wear them.

A "Triple Triple Black" Air Force 1 Low is also expected to drop alongside the newly-surfaced style.

Stay tuned for more details. Pairs will hit Nike SNKRS exclusively in the U.S. on Wednesday, May 7, for $130.
