New Kicks On The Blog - Online Magazine for the Sneaker Culture

While some sneakerheads have been turning their back on the most popular sneaker of our time, the Nike Air Force 1 has stood as a test of time, and more recently the colors that Nike has released for Women’s have been as good as the Men’s if not better. This new release of the Nike Women’s Air Force 1 comes in a Premium version that uses a Polka Dot patterned patent leather upper in Black and Swan. One of the more interesting treatments we have seen done to the Nike Air Force 1, this will be one of the must have Nike WMNS Air Force 1’s of 2009. Available now at select Nike Sportswear retailers.

Yesterday you saw the amazing Nike Dunk Hi FLOM “Futura” that was created as a part of the Lance Armstrong x Nike Sportswear LIVESTRONG Stages Collection. That sample was available for bid, but both will drop in July to coincide with the annual Tour de France, rebranded as the LIVESTRONG Greatest Hits Pack. Just as Futura’s effort was a reprisal of a legendary collabo from his past, this Nike Air Force 1 Low “Mister Cartoon” offers a black and yellow glimpse at the past inside the present. This time around, the details have been laser-etched, including a spider webbed toe and Los Angeles cityscape plus flowy lines on the side panels. The Swoosh is a smooth gradient from black to yellow that inverts the transition between side and rear panels, while an ‘LA’ embroidery on the rear quarter completes the look.

Especially after getting a look at the wild Nike Air Force 1 Low Bespoke “Makoto” Elephant Print, the question of whether or not the use of the classic pattern had become excessive, but when given the option to use it, we understand why it would be hard to pass up. The latest Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke to make a name for itself is this fresh new concoction from Brian A. Ruffin. Because of the grey Elephant Print heel, the shoe bears a slight resemblance to the Plus41 x Grotesk Bespoke, but there are plenty of other touches added to give the shoe its own personality.

The Elephant Print heel section is met by a medium grey midpanel and a solid white toe box and eyelet section. A black midsole, accents and waxed laces are also included, but it’s the transparent ice outsole and the red stripe and “AIR” logo that give this Nike Air Force 1 Low some real thoughtful style points. We will keep you posted on the latest in Bespoke happenings, and in the meantime create your own Bespoke model.

Makoto of Five Star Japan flew half way across the world to New York City to be able to customize his own pair of Bespoke Nike Air Force 1’s at Nike’s 21 Mercer space in SOHO. The result is a colorful, all-over Cement print, Nike Air Force 1 Supreme. The entire upper of the shoe uses a number of different colors of the Cement print while the inside collar lining and outsole of the shoes use an Aqua color while the shoelaces are Orange. Like all Nike Air Force 1’s “Bespoke”, Makoto’s pair is a 1 of 1.

The next Nike 1World collaboration is a complete surprise, this time with a UK personality, Manchester United center back Rio Ferdinand. While simple in appearance, this Nike Air Force 1 Low is on the lux side with an all white premium leather upper offset with a gold swoosh. Keeping to the white upper is a milky translucent white sole which we believe is the first time its been used on an Nike Air Force 1 Sole. This Nike 1World Air Force 1 Low “Rio Ferdinand” is now available Nike Sportswear 21 Mercer Store in New York but should be pretty hard to get outside of the UK.

Much like the previously released Air Max and ACG inspired hybrid joints, these Nike Air Force 1’s Low take inspiration from the classic Huarache series, most evident by the implementation of a Huarache infused tongue and colorway. The timeless platform sports a royal blue upper accented with scream green highlights and topped off with a medley of textiles including nylon and perforated leather. Footaction will see a release for the Nike Air Force 1 Low x Air Huarache “Royal Blue/Scream Green” in late-March 2009.

With these new images, you can really get a great view of the laser etched Nike Air Force 1 Low “Black History Month” and the “100″ graphics on the upper and the details on the tongue and heel tags. Also more noticeable are the red and green stitching and the green bottom eyelet and piping around the tongue. These sneakers are not released for retail and only given to a select few, so unfortunately this is probably the closest look most of us will ever get.
