Oui? Oui! Nike's Paris-Themed Forces Are Scarily Good
With the incredibly stylish Paris Olympics underway, Nike adds to the fashion fervor with sneakers inspired by the city. After delivering Jordan 4 sneakers as solid as the city's historic streets, the Big Swoosh returns with a stunning Paris-themed Nike Air Force 1 Low sneaker.
Believe it or not, the Nike Air Force 1 Low "Paris" shoe debuted earlier this year during Nike's SNKRS Showcase. You're forgiven if you missed them to catch previews of Nike's classic split-toe Air Rift and zip-up Air Max Sunders.
Admittedly, the Paris Forces are kind of silent assassins (a good thing in this case). The Nike sneakers come wrapped in quietly delicious brown shades, creamy leather, and secretly good detailing, resulting in a super tasteful version of the Nike classic.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low "Paris" even features a reimagined toe box where signature perforations form a new trippy pattern. An eerie stone tablet-like badge lands on the heel, as the soles gives off further spooky vibes with a spotty print and translucent finish.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low "Paris" is said to be inspired by Paris' historic catacombs, the city's underground tunnels, which are also resting places for the deceased (skull-filled walls included...kind of creepy).
Well, leave it to Nike to transform something scary into a good-looking sneaker. The label has plenty of experience in the field.
Burial inspo aside, the Nike Air Force 1 Low "Paris" is also very autumn-y, colorway-wise, making it the perfect fall shoe. Fittingly, the Paris Forces land on August 10 at Nike, perfect timing for the fall season.
