Nike‘s Air Force 1 LV8 is the latest silhouette to receive the deconstructed, logo-centric treatment. Arriving in two black and white colorways, this version of the classic low-top features a tonal leather upper and rubber cupsole, contrasted by leather Swooshes, heel pull tabs and Nike branding in the alternate color.

The main elements of this model are the exposed textile tags, the mini Swooshes with trademark symbols and the small touches of yellow, all of which make an easy reference to Virgil Abloh‘s Off-White™ design codes.

The Nike Air Force 1 LV8 Utility in “White/Black/Tour Yellow” and “Black/White/Tour Yellow” have a slated release date of November 1. Stay tuned for more details and let us know your thoughts on this sneaker trend in the comments.
