Revisiting its beloved 2005 release, Nike is now preparing a reworked take on the Nike Air Force 1 Low QS “Puerto Rico.”

Applying some design tweaks, the upper of the shoe is constructed of premium white leather accented prominently by the Caribbean island’s flag at the heel and tongue tag. Other details include a mini Swoosh at the vamp and “Nike Air” stitching in red on the navy heel panel. The major differences on the upper include a tonal midfoot Swoosh and a navy sockliner. Moving lower the main differences include tonal stitching on the white midsole and just navy coloring the “AIR” notation, while the rubber outsole appears in navy this time around.

Priced at €130 EUR (approximately $142 USD), the reworked Nike Air Force 1 Low QS “Puerto Rico” is set to hit select retailers like 43einhalb June 2.
