Revisiting its hardwood history is an ever-recurring theme for Nike and its storied Air Force 1. From their impending NBA collection to Summer’s streetball seasonal releases, the Uptown never seems to shy away from the sport that made it famous. More subtle than the aforementioned, the upcoming EMB pack serves up some low-key heaters. But although there doesn’t seem to be an overarching color thematic, the pairs all do come complete with Nike Basketball dubraes for consistency. This pair, which comes constructing in a mix of tumbled, smooth, and textured leathers, takes on Nike’s native Portland Trailblazers colors, and pairs it with an icy-translucent rubber outsole — a finish rarely seen in recent times. Tongue and heel branding is also ushered in in unique fashion, and the pair is complete with the aforementioned dubrae, here in iridescent and white.
With no release date in sight, you’ll want to make sure that you’re tuned into our official Twitter account for further updates — though with official images having just arrived, you should expect to see these hit a slew of select retailers and Nike.com in the coming weeks. So while you wait on more details grab a look at the pair here below.
