Nike's Pretty (& Glossy) "Hydrangeas" Air Force 1s Are in Full Bloom
Nike, in particular, has a couple of spring-ready sneakers lined up, including these pretty and appropriately named "Hydrangeas" Air Force 1s.
The very Easter-y Nike Air Force 1 sneakers come wrapped in soft purple hues, like the perennial flowers that reappear to signal the start of spring.
Underneath the delicate paint job, the Nike AF1 shoes wear a classic leather construction complete with both glossy patent and matte finishes, creating a seriously slick design.
The "Hydrangeas" Air Force 1s naturally come with the model's classic touches, like its platformed Air-stamped soles. What's more, Nike has again replaced the AF1's normal shoelaces with rope-style sets, a tastefully textural detail seen on some previous Forces.
The "Hydrangeas" Nike Air Force 1 comes after the release of the "Psychic Blue" and "Safety Orange" pairs earlier this year, which followed the same glossy design.
The purple pair looks to be another addition to the excellent colorway collection, literally roping in the Air Force hive with more stylishly slicked-up options to choose from.
The new purple Air Force 1 sneakers aren't out just yet. Sneaker leakers say the pairs will land sometime during the warm seasons. Who knows? With the shoes looking Easter-ready, they may launch just in time for the holiday in late April.
Then again, Nike already has an Air Force 1 shoe on Easter bunny duty. But, much like scrounging the yard during an Easter egg hunt, isn't more always more?
Spring's freshly bloomed flowers and pollen dustings may sound like a nightmare to those with severe allergies. But the season brings other great things, too, like warmer weather (finally!!!), longer days, and pastel-colored sneakers.
