Nike has added the Air Force 1 High to its “Classics” lineup that commemorates the 50th anniversary hip-hop.

The silhouette follows the first look at the Air Force 1 Low and the Dunk High, and arrives with leather uppers in black and speckled overlays in hues of grey and black. A gold microphone adornment hangs on the laces while other branding details can be found on the white panel swoosh, as well as the Nike logos on the midsole, heel, tongue tag and insoles. The iteration rests on a yellowed midsole for that aged look and a black outsole, and is tied together with black laces for a clean finish.

Take a first look at the shoe above. The Nike Air Force 1 High “Classics” is set to drop this year with a retail price tag of $135 USD via Nike and select retailers.

Elsewhere in footwear, check out the Nike Air Max 1 Safari in a “Summit White” colorway.
