Nike’s headstrong approach to sustainability has resulted in some pretty creative outcomes. The audacious Space Hippie lineage carries the torch in the most obvious fashion, while the frequent use of Flyleather sits down at the other end of the spectrum. Grind rubber soles have been prevalent, too, but arguably the most whimsical theme that we’ve seen so far is Nike’s “Happy Pineapple” collection — a series of sneakers that utilizes recycled pineapple fibers for the good of the Earth. Now, after the collection has revealed an Air Max 90, Air Max 95, and Free Run, the brand’s marquee silhouette is joining in on the action with this second edition of the Air Force 1 “Happy Pineapple” the latest to appear.
Unlike the men’s offering which arrives fully clad in cork, this women’s release looks to recycled textile and pineapple fibers for its construction. Uppers of a Coconut Milk canvas come dressed in a textile weave of vibrant Green Glow. That color continues to the liners, before the titular pineapple fiber flutters into the dual-layered Swooshes and heel overlays. Finally, the titular character can be seen grinning from ear-to-ear on the tongue, whilst its cinder-like outsole is again flushed with cork particles throughout.
A release date for this women’s-exclusive “Happy Pineapple” Air Force 1 is yet to be revealed, but you can expect it to arrive soon. As always, be sure to keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates. Until then, enjoy an official look at the pair here below.
