Pretty Japanese Florals Cover Nike's Spring-Themed Air Force 1
Spring is in the Air, Nike Air, that is. The sportswear brand continues to get in the spring mood, debuting official images of another seasonal sneaker, the Air Force 1 "Cherry Blossoms."
Nothing says spring has sprung like an annual cameo from Japanese cherry blossoms, those pretty pink florals that are sadly only around for a short time. But thanks to Nike's Air Force 1, they'll live forever now.
Well, sort of.
The latest Air Force 1 comes with a removable leather shroud featuring cherry blossom graphics and floral cutouts. It creates this neat effect as if the sneakers are covered in the famous flowers.
In this case, the cherry blossoms can basically stay in full bloom, if you decide to flex the sneakers year-round.
Nike already has those "Leaf Camo" versions for the autumn. But the brand's "Cherry Blossom" steppers are prepared for the cooler weather, too. Peeling back the floral cover, the Air Force 1 reveals cozy, hairy suede uppers in beige and pink colors.
It's unknown whether Nike will make similar layered Forces for the winter and summer. But you can't blame the label for saving the best for the more superior seasons (cough, spring and fall, cough).
The Nike Air Force 1 "Cherry Blossoms" sneaker is already available at select retailers like Undefeated, which has them for $130.
