The Nike Air Force 1 Low Gets Dressed in Rich Japanese Indigo
Hand-dyed and Sashiko embroidered.
This month has seen a strong indigo theme for Nike colorways, including the Medicom Toy x Nike SB “BE@RBRICK” Dunk and the new “Indigo” denim patterns for NIKEiD. Upping the denim-inspired theme is NIKEiD’s latest Air Force 1 Low “Aizome” colorway.
Made in Japan, the iconic low-top silhouette boasts a hand-dyed indigo upper that is constructed with a Sashiko embroidery method, which not only adds textural styling, but also reinforces pressure points on the upper for increased durability. Premium tan leather hits the side Swoosh, heel tab, tongue tab and eyestays, while a crisp white midsole rounds out the classic look.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Aizome” will drop on July 29 at BEAMS Japan, BEAMS Harajuku, NikeLab MA5 and Nike Harajuku. Let us know if these are a cop or drop in the comments below.
