Nike's Matrix-Themed Air Force 1 Sneaker Is a Good Kind of Glitch
The beloved "Triple Black" Nike Air Force 1 Low sneaker has entered the matrix.
Nike has once again made over the classic all-black sneaker, this time creating a glitch-style pair called "Matrix."
The Nike shoe almost immediately reminds you of the movie The Matrix, featuring bright green stitching similar to the codes from the sci-fi film franchise.
Consider these a glitch in the Swoosh matrix even (in a good way, of course).
The Air Force 1 also features digitalized graphics on the insoles, further nodding to the film's virtual reality aesthetic. But underneath it all, the smooth leather classic lives.
Nike's iconic blacked-out Air Force 1 has been girlcore-ified and even turned into a quietly luxe stepper by COMME des GARÇONS. Now, it's channeling its inner Neo...again.
That's right. This isn't the first Matrix-themed Air Force 1. In the early 2000s, the sportswear brand designed a limited-edition AF1 collection inspired by the movie. The sneakers even featured an embroidered "1" on the side, a nod to "The Chosen One."
Nike's Air Force 1 "Matrix" sneakers are expected to drop during the fall season on Nike's website. But here's the thing, they're releasing in grade school sizes. Translation: only the kiddos get the chance to the be the chosen ones this go-around.
It's yet another example of the youth getting all the good Nike stuff, like cool Crocs-style water shoes and even "Matrix" Forces.
