Nike and SneakersBR Create an Air Force 1 With a New Zipper System
The “SBR Challenger Club” celebrates anniversaries for both brands.
Brazil’s SneakersBR and Nike celebrate their respective anniversaries with a collaborative set of Air Force 1 Lows. With the former commemorating its 10th anniversary and the latter honoring the Air Force 1’s 35th birthday, a joint take on the iconic sneaker is only logical.
For this release, the classic all-white Air Force 1 Low is left mostly untouched, with only “SBR 10TH CHALLENGER CLUB” marking the upper. However, the tongue of the sneaker offers some new detailing, including vividly-colored laces, an embroidered deubré and a removable zipper. Several sets of laces are offered in both multicolored patterns and SBR branding, while gold lace locks and co-branded insoles complete the package.
The SneakerBR x Nike Air Force 1 Low “SBR Challenger Club” is currently limited to a “Friends and Family” release, but Nike has more in store for the Air Force 1’s celebrations in Brazil.
