Nike’s All-Green Air Force 1 Isn’t Just Good — It’s Iconic
We already know the Air Force 1 Low is iconic. It turns out, the sneaker itself knows it, too.
Nike has cooked up a new "Green Apple" version of the model dubbed "Icon." It's basically this tonal green leather Air Force 1 Low with "Icon" stamped on the heel.
Enough said, honestly.
The "Icon" Forces are also quite luxe, featuring ostrich-leather Swooshes and slick leather elsewhere. It also features faded brass-like eyelets and lace dubrae, which speak directly to the model's timelessness in a tasteful way.
Nike's Air Force 1 has dabbled in many designs. Just this season, it has appeared in Bottega-level woven leather and even in patent denim. Let's also not forget it returned to its 2001 form.
Interestingly, the newest pair features an X-ray graphic of the Air Force 1 on the insoles, which is a pretty cool touch. It's almost like Nike's way of saying that regardless of how many times the outside changes, it's always an AF1 at heart. Too deep?
Regardless, it's still iconic.
And the green Air Force 1 Low "Icon" sneakers are expected to drop sometime this summer on Nike's website.
