In 2022, Nike will be commemorating the 40th anniversary of one of its most iconic silhouettes that it ever crafted: the Air Force 1. While the model is known to release in droves of new colorways and collaborations every year, you can likely expect the Swoosh to double down on its drops for this momentous celebration, and one brand that is confirmed to lend its creative touch to its mid-top is the esteemed streetwear label Stüssy. The California-based imprint first teased its forthcoming black and white makeup earlier this month, and now the pair’s official images have popped up.

The palette here adheres to a simple-yet-clean yin-and-yang motif as a the toe boxes, quarters, collars and tongues are done up in a muted white, while the tumbled leather Swooshes, overlays and ankle straps are given a black paint job. Instead of the traditional Nike branding that drops off on the straps and tongues, Stüssy reworks these areas with its cities logo on the former and an embroidered text hit on the latter. Additionally, the west coat brand’s SS logo arrives in perforated form on the toe boxes and atop metal badges on the heels.

Moreover, the shoes will come housed in a white and red shoe box that comes with special printed tissue paper. No release date has been announced just yet, but you can likely expect Stüssy and Nike to launch these sometime in 2022.

For other sneaker-related news, more photos of the Nike Dunk Low “Barber Shop” have emerged.
