Somehow, Nike never seems to run out of ideas for its iconic Air Force 1. Appearing in something old, something new, something borrowed — and even blue — on almost a daily basis, the silhouette has shown no signs of fatigue in recent years — in fact, you can expect Bruce Kilgore’s sneaker to steam through 2022 for its 40th anniversary with gusto. The newest take on the silhouette 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 a more traditional front half with a contemporary rear.
Despite the toe box being layered above the toe cap, the front end is fairly straightforward, with a triple white 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 milky-translucent. Its seamless shell works from fine to rugged gridded finishes that replicate the original design lines, whilst dual-layered Swooshes and polka-dot heel pulls of gold are tacked on over the top.
