Nike follows on from its recently-released triple-white Air Force 1 React D/MS/X seen earlier this week with an almost triple-black iteration, coming in “Black/Anthracite/Violet Star/Barely Volt.”

This new black offering sports an upper that’s made from leather, and combines this with technical touches such as mesh paneling on the mid-panel. The tonal mesh is covered in an “Anthracite” grey printed Swoosh logo, which sinks into the black sole unit.

Nike has added “AIR” branding in “Anthracite” onto the sole unit and couples this with “Barely Volt” detailing around the logo. The “Violet Star” hue has been used to highlight the heel section, and also appears on the rear lateral mid-quarter where the shoe’s D/MS/X branding is placed.

Rounding out the pair is “Barely Volt” branding on the heel tab, a mesh tongue complete with a “Barely Volt” tongue tab, and the signature perforated toe box. Take a look at Nike’s latest Air Force 1 React D/MS/X in the gallery above, and pick up the pair at stockists such as KITH online for $120 USD.

In other news, Nike has updated the Tiempo Legend IV Elite with contemporary technology.
