Sneaker brands have always flirted with the boundary of paying homage and taking a design and making it their own. As the saying goes, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (that mediocrity can pay to greatness). When it comes to drawing inspiration from pop culture, no brand does it as well and as often as Nike. While normally not an issue, the Nike Air Force 1 Experimental “Postal Ghost” was a point of contention to the United States Postal Service.

The clear and obvious inspiration from the USPS didn’t sit well with the company, especially with the economic hardship and backlog of work resulting from COVID-19. After the USPS threatened to sue the Swoosh, the USPS and Nike settled to work as one.

Following the agreement, the Nike Air Force 1 Experimental “Postal Ghost” will release at the end of May. With a release date of May 28 with a retail price tag of $130, the USPS-inspired pair from Nike might be one of the most coveted Nike Air Force 1 Experimental ever as a result of its murky backstory.

The Nike Air Force 1 Experimental “Postal Ghost” will release on SNKRS and select retailers. As always, stay alert on the SoleSavy monitors for a successful release day.

Keep it locked for more Nike news, and head over to SoleSavy to learn more about the most genuine sneaker community out there and how to buy releases like this one.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
