With the name Air Force 1, it was only logical that Nike pay homage to the presidential aircraft of the same name with the special Air Force 1 Presidential Edition. Following weeks of previews and teasers, we can now give you a proper look at the shoe courtesy of Nike. Crafted from premium leather, the shoe features a two-tone leather ankle strap, a U.S. flag patch, reflective detailing, and dimples inspired by the rivets on the plane. Taking the concept further, the upper’s surface lies flat in a nod to the smooth fuselage of the presidents Boeing VC-25. The shoe’s midsole incorporates the matte light blue and gold coloring seen on the plane. The shoe is set to launch globally this month in limited quantities.
