In July 2023, Nike took the Air Alpha Force 88 out of the vault. An 80s Nike Basketball icon, the AAF 88 was one of the few pairs of non-Air Jordan's worn on-court by Michael Jordan during the early days of his career. Fans were excited to see the original white, red, and black colorway return. Billie Eilish even redid it in vegan leather! With the original Game Royal pair already slated for a 2024 release, an all-new Medium Grey Sea Glass pair will arrive prior.
The Nike Air Alpha Force 88 Medium Grey Sea Glass edition comes in a muted medium grey, sea glass, and black colorway. This sneaker sports a medium grey-based suede upper with perforations on the toe box and side collar. Sea Glass accents can be seen via the Swoosh on the sides, midfoot strap, plastic eyelets, and leather tongue. Classic Air Alpha Force branding is prominent on the top of the tongue, with Nike branding on the strap, back heel, and insoles. A black stripe wrapping around the back heel and a sail-colored sole finish things off for this AAF 88.
The Nike Air Alpha Force 88 Medium Grey Sea Glass will release on January 4, 2024., through Nike, SNKRS, and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men's sizing, retail is set at $140.
