Despite the Air Force 1 25th Anniversary behind us, Nike has continued a solid release of AF1s include an all new “Crocodile” pack. This high-class Air Force One Supreme pack will come in 3 elegant colorways suited to the premium materials used. These kicks will feature the inside-out setup with suede or nubuck leather used for the toe box, premium leather for the back sections, and crocodile pattern pressed leather for the swoosh and heel. Like all other Air Force Supremes, these high-end sneakers are designed for comfort, utilizing a leather interior and insole. This “Crocodile” pack can be purchased at LTD Online now.
Here we go, the next fusions to make you drool or spit. This time it’s an all American colorway of red white and blue in time for the Olympics. These mids far surpass the black Air Jordan V x Air Force 1 Lows we’ve seen on other sites (which look 100% fake). These actually look decent, but hopefully they wont release 10 more colorways, keeping it somewhat subtle.

While hybrids designs incorporating the physical characteristics of popular sneakers has taken some time to become respected practice amongst sneaker brands, Nike has taken another slightly off beat approach. They’ve looked to a much heralded running line which never mind the performance aspect has yielded some of the most aesthetically pleasing colorways throughout the sneaker world. Some of Nike’s most resonating and re-referenced styles over the years would make a return, not as a retro but reincarnated through Nike’s most popular style ever the Air Force 1. The styles look at three distinct categories of performance styles. These categories include ground-breaking use of materials in the Safari, Spiridon and Talaria. The functionality of the ACG collection, the Mowabb and the Wildwood and finally rounding out with an Air Max series devoted to the OG colors of the Air Max 90, Air Max 95 and Air Max 97. Watch for these to hit select Air Force 1 dealers this summer.
Since its recent inception into the Air Force 1, Supreme models have created a more contemporary styling for the 25+ year old sneaker. The use of a visible air bubble has often been the distinguishing factor on Nike’s more expensive and higher performing models from its more economical models. But over the years, the popularity of the AF1 has shown that the AF1s original design was popular enough to sustain such strong interest. This upcoming release from AF1 features a colorway similar to the Nike Orca Pack of Dunks released a few years back with a similar albeit flipped use of black and white. No word yet on an official release from Nike.

Nike has been rolling out a series of Air Force 1 and Court Forces inspired by popular colorways of the past, some going as far as reshaping the actual upper to reflect their previous running predecessors. Although the Zoom Air Spiridon isn’t exactly part of the Air Max Inspired Air Force 1 pack, the iconic Spiridon has had an important role defining the Nike running scene since its inception as one for the first Zoom Air based running shoes. The Spiridon AF1 is currently available at Mita and should hit your local Nike dealer soon.
On March 1st, Duke’s college basketball coach Mike Krzyewski (a.k.a. Coach K) joined an elite legion of college basketball coaching greats as he entered the 800 win club. To commemorate this remarkable feat, Chi McBride and Nike’s Innovative Kitchen were approached by Eric Lautenbach, head of NIKE college basketball to create a special 1 of 1 Air Force 1. The end project is a sneaker with no detail overlooked. The box itself is constructed of old basketball floor boards with the names of Coach K’s parents, brother, wife and three daughters lasered into the box. The gray flannel and brass eyelet upper was inspired by the cadet uniform jackets worn by Coach K as a player under another legendary coach Bob Knight at Westpoint. A truly remarkable piece of footwear from Nike.
