The Nike Air Force One, one of the most storied and legendary sneakers of all time will be celebrating its 40th birthday in 2022. In honor of the AF1, Nike will be releasing a slew of special colorways to commemorate the growth, success, and widespread appeal of the model. To kickstart the celebration, Nike is paying homage to the city of love with the Nike Air Force One Mid “Paris.”
The model blends a cream-colored tumbled leather base with yellow overlays, hints of blue highlight the Swoosh and the heel of the shoe. Nike has gone all out on the little details of the shoe including pyramid-shaped perforations in the toe box to evoke the imagery of the Louvre Museum and AF1’s iconic lace dubraes have been remixed to look like a Parisian street sign, a design choice that also appears on the shoe’s insole. The “75” embroidered on the lateral sides of the shoe referencing the Parisian area code ties the look together.
Though there is no official release date confirmed yet, the Nike Air Force One Mid “Paris” is set to release in the upcoming weeks via Nike.com and other select retailers. As always, our sneaker monitors and release day strategy will have members ready for drop day.
