Nike Air Force 1 Low Surfaces in Bold Metallic Gold-Iridescent Snakeskin

They say you can’t reinvent the wheel — in other words, you can’t recreate perfection — but Nike’s Air Force 1 shines some incredible doubt on that colloquialism. It is one of the world’s few truly perfect sneakers, and time after time Nike finds new ways to reinvigorate Bruce Kilgore’s masterpiece. The crew in Beaverton have left no stone unturned over the years, with the perfect blank canvas dishing up options from deconstructed toolings to wild colors and materials makeups like this “Iridescent Snakeskin” Air Force 1. And if it looks a little familiar, it’s because it is, with a matching Air Max 90 previously being revealed right here.

Like the AM90, the pair’s bold gold-iridescent snakeskin panels are easily the pair’s championing piece, unfairly overshadowing the elegant layering of leather and suedes surrounding. A subtle sail leather upper provides the sneaker’s base, with complementary tones hitting the light bone suede overlays, laces, liners, and sole units. Contrasting blacks arrive on the suede Swooshes and tongues, the latter revealing a vibrant aqua through its openly-woven mesh, and the pair is capped off with vivid orange heel overlays, and rich aqua insoles.

Take in an official look at this colorful Iridescent Snakeskin Air Force 1 below, ahead of its expected release at select stores and Nike.com in the coming weeks. For updates on the drop, make sure that you’re following HOUSE OF HEAT on Twitter.
