Combining two of the brand’s most revolutionary cushioning technologies, the newest take on the Uptown — the Air Force 1 React — is somewhat of a strange one, as it enlists a similar inside-out aesthetic to that seen on this recently-revealed Air Jordan 1, but also employs a distinct “Split” at the midfoot that separates said cushioning. With the back half benefitting from contemporary React Foam, the sneaker’s rear-end replicates the era in which it was devised. The front half is equipped with Air, and proffers a more traditional leather build to suit the technology’s age.
Now, after appearing in a handful of light-based colorways comes this Air Force 1 React “Black Neon” which, as the name suggests, boasts a simple black base set against striking neon accentuations. Despite the toe box being layered above the toe cap, the front end is fairly straightforward, with a black leather construct met by added forefoot mini Swooshes and embroidery bars at the vamp. the pair is then split down the middle at the mid panel — literally — with sole units and ripstop uppers spliced into translucent finishes. Its seamless shell works from fine to rugged gridded finishes that replicate the original design lines, whilst dual-layered Swooshes, polka-dot heel pulls and insoles all work in highlighter hues of orange, pink, aqua, and volt to complete the design.
