Air Force 1 x Air Jordan 12 Fusion

It’s been said time and time again, don’t mess with what most people feel is a good thing. Without a clear reason why Nike has chosen to mesh the Air Jordan series with that of its best selling shoe the Air Force, many people were left scratching their head. With the alleged termination of the Jordan signature post 2008 and a halt on the number of retro releases this may be the next best thing? Regardless, these Playoff colorway joints are probably among the more respected of the lot thus far. Haters of the AF1 mid’s probably will pass due to the obvious anatomical similarities.
