Nike Air Force 1 Inspired By Classic Spike Lee Commercials Coming Soon

author

A very special general release is headed to retailers later this year; one that takes design cues from none other than the legendary film director Spike Lee. Using the “Live Together, Play Together” advertisements Lee made for the Nike Air Raid 2 back in 1992 as its key reference, the Nike Air Force 1 Low pictured below is full of clever details. The shoe uses a black/white color scheme as its base and adds a multi-colored embroidered emblem on the lateral side of the toebox that mimics the colorful basketball court in Lee’s ads. Elsewhere on the heel, we see these same colors implemented in an abstract collage with “Nike Air” embroidered in the middle and a shaggy suede panel just underneath. Extra stitching in bright yellow thread appears on the toebox and tongue like the beloved Union x Air Jordan collaborations and the collage motif is implemented once more on the tongue tag with green piping acting as a final bit of flair to the tongue. Expect these Air Force 1 Lows to hit select retailers later this year.

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
