Following its recent “FORCE Logo” set, the Swoosh brand comes through with more vintage designs to kick off the new year.

The latest AF1 High keeps a casual silhouette with a black leather upper, wide white midsole, perforated toebox and additional hits of purple on the strap and tongue. Unmissable is the addition of a large purple croc-skin Swoosh across the mid-foot panel. The latest Big Swoosh detailing resembles older AF1 models from the 2000s as well as the Nike Blazer, ushering a broader industry trend of logo-centric styles.

While the runner is only available in Asia at the moment, we expect a release on Nike.com and US retailers in upcoming weeks. In other sneaker news, a release date for the Off-White™ x Air Jordan 1 White may be forthcoming.
