Badfriend Previews a Triple-White Air Force 1 with a Purple Tag

Sometimes, all it takes to turn a classic pair into a collab is a couple of logos and a new color added to the tag. For Southern California streetwear brand Badfriend, a new preview shows off a pair of Nike Air Force 1s that keep it classic in iconic triple-white, except for a purple Badfriend collab tag and a logo at the lateral heel.

Previewed in an Instagram post from the brand on Monday, the Air Force 1 pair keeps it as clean as possible, looking like a plain pair of ‘07 Air Force 1s at first glance. Upon further inspection, a black Badfriends logo at the lateral heel adds co-branding in a classic location, with a purple Nike Air Force 1 Badfriends tag on the tongue.

Badfriend has been on a collab tear lately, with a recent B.B. Simon belt partnership and a pack of jerseys and gear with Undefeated. The Air Force 1 pairs will be released as a ComplexCon exclusive, though, so don’t expect a wide release through Nike.
