Available Now // Nike Air Force 1 Wild "Lilac Bloom"

Nike is no stranger to transformation, often reinventing classic silhouettes to fit the diverse needs of its global audience. One such reinvention catching attention is the Air Force 1 Wild, a modern twist on the iconic basketball sneaker that’s been a streetwear staple since its inception in 1982. Released in April, the reimagined model has enjoyed a colorful journey, with various hues decking the rugged remake. It's next leverages a tonal lavender hue —but that's not the pair's biggest upgrade.

This latest Air Force 1 Wild version represents a significant departure from previous releases in the line. Historically, albeit short, the Air Force 1 Wild has featured suede overlays, a testament to the model's enduring appeal and versatility. However, Nike is venturing into new design realms by incorporating rugged nylon, typically used in hiking and outdoor gear, into this iconic Bruce Kilgore design.

The shoe's base is crafted from a tighter canvas, complementing the robust nylon and enhancing the sneaker's overall durability. Adding to its unique character is the Air Humara-inspired checkered midsole, a feature that has become a hallmark of the Air Force 1 Wild series.

The result is a sneaker that pays homage to its roots and pushes the boundaries of conventional sneaker design. The Nike Air Force 1 Wild in this new monochromatic, fabric-focused version is a testament to Nike's commitment to innovation and adaptability.

Enjoy an official look at this new colorway below, and expect pairs to become available on February 1st, 2024, at select Nike Sportswear retailers and on Nike.com for $140.
