Here are two new samples of the Nike Air Force Ones thanks to Sneaker Freaker. It seems that Nike has been really feeling themselves on the black and gold colorways lately (think Lebron III’s and DMP’s) and has continued the scheme with these Air Force Ones. The second model is a more subtle colorup with some premium leather for all you cats that like the good stuff. Look for these to drop in the third quarter of the year.
