Nike Air Force 1 Pixel “Snakeskin” Confirmed for Jan. 22 Drop

The humble Air Force 1 has become the perfect baseline for Nike’s in-house design team to really test their flair. From 2018’s seven-piece set of reimagined designs for and by women, to something as audacious as the recently-revealed “Black Tie-Dye” rendition, its versatility speaks volumes. Always down for experimentation, the next release turns the staple sneaker into something of a conversation starter, with a glitchy “Pixel” Air Force 1 redefining the silhouette’s sleek lines and ever-iconic sole unit. After debuting in a clean triple white option, the pair has popped up in a slew of pastel-popped options, but this pair is the first to experiment with a new material: snakeskin.

Up top, paneling arrives in close resemblance to Bruce Kilgore’s 1982 masterpiece, with only a handful of noticeable pixelated tweaks, including square eyelets and forefoot perforations, many of which have been omitted. Snakeskin appears at the extended, square rear overlays, and cut-in Swooshes on the profile, but most of the glitch action is observed at the sole, with protruding blocks, oversized tread, and shifted AIR branding resembling a pixelated freeze-frame from 1980s home gaming consoles. The cubism continues up top, with special dubraes and geometric branding at the tongue, heel, and insole completing the design.

A release date for the Nike Air Force 1 Pixel “Snakeskin” has not yet been identified, but we do know that these will be arriving this Fall. As always, keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates.
