Nike Adds a New Colorway to Its Air Force 1 '07 LE "Shibuya" Pack (UPDATE)
A nod to the connecting train lines at Shibuya Station.
UPDATE (Nov 12, 2019): Nike has returned with the latest colorway to its Air Force 1 ‘07 LE “Shibuya” pack — “Black/Psychic Purple.” The sneaker is one of two colorways in the pack as part of the Nike’s holiday releases.
This iteration starts with deep royal blue highlights along the edges of the upper collars. The tongue and the heel counter comes in a complementary color of dark red, followed by a full black leather body. The main Swoosh at the sidewalls has been tinged in “Psychic Purple,” while the embroidered “SBY” motif seen in the previous shoe has been rendered in the palettes of this sneaker’s thematic colorway at the rear quarter. All of these details sit atop a crisp white midsole, offset by a hazel brown gum outsole.
The Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 LE “Shibuya” in “Black/Psychic Purple” is currently available at nike.com for $110 USD.
Elsewhere, ASICS has dropped its weatherized GEL-SNOWRIDE in “Black/Olive.”
ORIGINAL STORY (Nov 7, 2019): Nike‘s holiday season offerings are in full swing. The American footwear giant has just unveiled a new Air Force 1 ‘07 LE iterated in a crisp “Shibuya” colorway. This particular model follows the recently previewed Air Force 1 collaboration with atmos as a much more minimal counterpart to carry out the festive theme.
As its name suggests, the sneakers are inspired by the city of Shibuya. An array of bright palettes have been applied over the silhouette to reflect the colors of some of the major train lines connecting to Shibuya Station. The upper collars come in red, complemented by orange highlights at the tongue and heel counter. Most of the body of the shoe has been kept white and clean, while lime green accents appear over the main Swoosh. Below is a tonal midsole, followed by a thin teal-colored outsole that underscores the sneakers. Other details like the embroidered “SBY” patch logo at the rear quarter and a depicted map of Shibuya’s train routes on the insoles round up the designs of the vibrant sneaker.
The Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 LE “Shibuya” is currently available at atmos-tokyo.com for $101 USD.
