Nike is commemorating the 40th anniversary of its popular Air Force 1 model this year, and it’s only right the brand doubles down on its releases. A plethora of new installments are going to be rolled out to the public this season, one of which is the Air Force 1 Mid “Ale Brown.”

The color palette of these kicks is a homage to the past. Most of the premium leather uppers is fashioned in white such as the perforated toe boxes, quarters, collars and heels while the glossy straps and overlays are fitted with its titular shade. Doses of “Total Orange” are then sprinkled to the jeweled Swooshes, embroidered Swooshes on the straps as well as the branding on the lace dubraes, tongues and heels, and this tone is meant to call out the color of OG Nike boxes. Midsoles and outsoles are both drowned in a creamy hue to further channel a vintage look.

Official images of the shoes are available to look at above, and you can find these releasing on April 28 via SNKRS for $140 USD.
