The Nike Air Force 1 Low Premium “Ivory Snake” is making a comeback after 23 years.

Initially released in 1996 as an Asia exclusive, the low-top sneaker’s resurrection stays true to the immaculate cleanliness of the OG. Crafted with a premium leather upper in crisp white, brown and green snakeskin texture slither on the panel’s Swoosh for evident detailing. Additional branding comes in the form of classic AF1 tongue tags. With its classically neat finish, this once-exclusive beauty will surely make its way into your regular sneaker rotation.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Premium “Ivory Snake” drops May 22 at select retailers like 43einhalb and on nike.com for €130 EUR (approximately $145 USD).

In other footwear news, Virgil Abloh recently previewed what could be an upcoming Louis Vuitton sneaker.
