Did you get your hands on Yachty's yellow Air Force 1 Mid in Opti Yellow? If so, there's a good chance you're one of his favorite people. Or he at least cares about you a little bit. No, this isn't a parasocial tirade.

These words of affection come straight from the Boat's mouth.

For the release of his new vivid yellow Air Force 1 Mid, Yachty sent out letters that read, "If you got this shoe, I like you… at least a little bit!" A real sentimental king, that one is.

The shoe rocks a bright yellow base, accented with black detailing, including his signature Concrete Boys stick figure.

So far, Lil Yachty's Concrete Boys offerings have followed classic Nike style codes, like the white-and-navy Air Force 1 that released in 2024, which looked like a basic white AF1 with a few subtle color upgrades. Mr. Miles wasn't doing too much in terms of redesigning the wheels.

And sure, the initial release left some wanting more. But over the past two years, Concrete Boys' Nike offerings have gotten notably more creative, evidenced by Yachty's colorful, glossy take on the classic Air Force 1. Lil Boat and crew have also teased a fiber-rich Air Force 1 that channels the renewable Flyknit energy of Nike's past. Good times.

If you don't happen to be on Yachty's close friends or if he sent you the wrong size, à la Ice Spice, the Opti Yellow Air Force 1 Mid is available on resale websites for upward of $700.
