This Nike Air Force 1 '07 Tells an Important Story of "Chicago"
Paying homage to how the city worked together to overcome the hardships that followed the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.
Nike has debuted the Air Force 1 ‘07 “Chicago.”
Crafted in collaboration with Chicago’s LDRS, Notre, RSVP, Saint Alfred, SVRN and Succezz, the iteration tells the story of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 and how the city worked together to overcome the hardships that followed. The model arrives with a charcoal black and white aged leather base and complementing cream overlays, while a fiery red lands on the panel swoosh and cow print on the medial side — the latter of which pays homage the legend that the fire was started by Mrs. O’Leary’s cow when it accidentally kicked over a lantern. Additional branding can be found on the pink, red and black Nike Air heel logo, as well as the special Chicago skyline silhouette on the tongue tag and insoles. The shoe rests on a yellowed and aged midsole and red outsole, while cream laces tie the shoe together for a nice finish.
Check out the sneaker above. The Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 “Chicago” drops October 21 via Nike and select retailers for a retail price tag of $145 USD.
Elsewhere in footwear, a new Stüssy and Birkenstock collab is reportedly in the works.
