The Nike Air Alpha Force 88 Returns in Black and White
In continuation of the old school model’s revival.
Leading off the year for Nike, rumors surrounding the return of the Air Alpha Force 88 surfaced. The shoe, worn by Michael Jordan after releasing the Air Jordan 2 and waiting for the Air Jordan 3, never fully took off. However, Nike’s looking to give it another shot this year with a range of retro-inspired colorways, revisiting the shoe’s original look.
Joining the recently-released “University Red,” this black and white pair similarly draws from the past with its arrangement. To begin, a white leather base has been prepared with “Neutral Grey” hits at the Swooshes, collar and eyestays. From there, black coats the midfoot’s strap, various linework, embroidered heel branding and the lining. Rounding things out, the structured sole unit blends the three hues.
With the Nike Air Alpha Force 88 returning to shelves last Saturday, this black and white pair is likely to follow its lead in the coming weeks. However, Nike has not yet shared any details regarding its release. Look for it to arrive at a price of $140 USD via the Swoosh and select retailers worldwide.
For more of the latest updates from the always-busy world of footwear, Ja Morant’s Nike Ja 1 is celebrating spooky season this year with a “Halloween” colorway carrying special Swooshes.
