Uptowns are going outdoors, as Nike is introducing the retooled Air Force 1 Wild. The women’s-exclusive silhouette sees the staple transformed into a bonafide hiking shoe, complete with a brand-new sole unit. And while the upper’s paneling is still recognizable as an AF1, the lines are slightly altered as they take on a new construction of nubuck and ballistic mesh.
Double heel tabs provide extra cushioning, and the rope laces secure via two layers of fastening atop a tongue that climbs higher than usual and features a pull tab. More as decoration, zig-zagging stitching comes tightly packed at the tip and appears wider at the foxing.
Five color options have surfaced via official images in brown, wheat, green, sail, and black. No release details have been confirmed yet, but we’ll keeping our eyes peeled on this remixed Air Force 1. Download the DROPS by SoleSavy app as we provide you with updates.
