Before 2022 rolls its credits next month, Nike is carving out room to unveil as many Air Force 1 colorways as it can to commemorate the iconic model’s 40th anniversary. A cornucopia of collaborative installments and inline iterations have been revealed in recent memory, and the latter batch is about to increase by one entry: the Air Force 1 Low “Clouds.” This isn’t necessarily the official name of the playful makeup, but its visual presentation mimics the aesthetic of the atmospheric element.

Straying away from the silhouette’s traditional smooth leather build, the Swoosh design teams instead usher in a full suede base layer that’s crafted with a shaggy texture. The perforated toe boxes, quarter panels, collars and heel overlays are all treated with dusted sky blue and white patterns. They somewhat channel a similar look to the Nike SB Dunk High Pro “Clouds” from 2015, only with a less obvious all-over pattern. Sitting adjacent comes notes of gray suede which land on the tongue and heel branding as well as the side Swooshes. Down below, the midsole pieces and treading provide more neutral contrast thanks to their all-white skin.

Nike hasn’t confirmed a hard launch date just yet, but expect to see various stockists carry these in the coming months.

For other sneaker news, the Bred” Treatment has landed on the Air Jordan 1 High FlyEase.
