Nike Air Force 1 Mid Jewel Appears With an "NYC Midnight Navy" Theme
If only the Yankees made the playoffs, these would’ve been timely.
Those who are invested in sneaker culture will know that there are certain silhouettes that cities across the United States can heavily identify with, and for New York City, it’s the Air Force 1. And to so honor the culture and street style of the Big Apple, Nike is producing various NYC-themed colorways of the Air Force 1 Mid Jewel, the next being this “Midnight Navy” colorway.
Uppers of these Air Force 1 Mids are mostly styled in white as everything from the leather side walls, tongues, overlays, toe boxes, heels, straps and milky jeweled Swooshes are done up with angelic finishes. “Midnight Navy” hits are then applied to the NYC embroidery that lands on the lateral side of the straps, tongues, heels, lower toe box Swooshes and the interior lining. The latter is also decorated with gray pinstripe patterns which certainly channel a New York Yankees-esque type of look (too bad they didn’t make the playoffs). Midsoles are designed with the colorless look as well and the outsoles come dressed with gum backdrops and a green “6” logo to signify one of New York’s MTA lines.
Nike SNKRS in Europe is slated to drop these on October 20 for £109.95 (approx. $149 USD).
In case you missed it, Nike has unveiled LeBron’s upcoming Nike Air Force 1 “Strive for Greatness” colorway.
