In stark contrast to the elevated appearance, Nike has installed a handful of whimsical touches, including a literal Air Force 1 fact sheet receipt at the tongues that identify everything from the initial design stages to the introduction of new models, jewel Swooshes, and more. the lateral ankle embroidery is out there, too, with Star/Swoosh motifs, and playful beaver illustrations an ostensible nod to the connection between Beaverton and Japan.
