Woven Detailing Hits the Nike Air Force 1 Low "NAI-KE"
Appearing with a beige-flavored presentation.
Across recent years, Nike has nodded to its ever-growing Chinese audience with various “NAI-KE”-themed releases of the Cortez and Air Force 1 Low. In 2022, the theme expanded with a colorway of the Air Pegasus 83, a shaggy Air Force 1 Low and two other tonal iterations on the AF1. Now, the latest presentation of the Air Force 1 Low “NAI-KE” introduces several new design elements to the series.
This time around, the Air Force 1 Low has been equipped with a new woven upper panel at the midfoot. It appears as tonal detailing, matching the rest of the upper’s eggshell white finish. Its accompanying panels feature a leather finish while the Swooshes appear in suede. The heel tab similarly dons suede with thematic embroidery and weaving. Elsewhere, the tongue carries a thinner weave throughout its build, the lining appears in a “Vachetta Tan”-esque color and a gum sole supports a white midsole.
Stay tuned for official release details regarding the Nike Air Force 1 Low “NAI-KE” as the Swoosh has yet to disclose any details. It’s likely to land on shelves in the coming months via Nike and select retailers.
