It's important to give people their flowers while they're still here to smell them. The same logic applies to sneakers as well.

Specifically, the Air Force 1 sneaker which deserves a whole garden for just how much it's done for footwear culture across the board.

Now, you can't exactly give a sneaker literal flowers, but you can put a bunch of red rosettes all over it, and that's more or less the same thing, right?

The Air Force 1 '07 Floral takes the classic low-top sneaker, dips it in jet black ink and covers it with red floral designs all throughout.

A black outsole, matching Swoosh and inky laces keep things dark and darling while the red floral upper ups the elegance factor.

That's part of what makes this florally flat sneaker so stunning. See, while Air Force 1 sneakers are wildly categorized as one of the greatest footwear inventions of all time, blacked-out iterations don't get the same love.

Inky Air Force 1 sneakers are, no pun intended, the black sheep of the Air Force 1 universe. Add some lovely florals to the mix, though, and decades of stigmatization gets turned on its head. Sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses — then put them on your sneakers.
