Bruce Kilgore's Nike Air Force 1 is, no doubt, one of the most iconic sneakers of all time. Over the past 40 years we've seen some absolute classics like the Air Force 1 Low and Air Force 1 Mid. We've also been around to check out some futuristic pairs too, including the Air Force 1 React. Just when we thought we had seen everything, the Oregon sportswear giant unveil the Nike Air Force 1 Lover XX Premium "Black Sail." Originally released as part of 2018's "Reimagined" Collection, here's everything that we know so far.
Back in 2018, it wasn't a secret that nobody wanted a pair of these. With that said, fast forward to 2022 and things are very different. Clogs and mules are all the rage now, so re-releasing the Air Force 1 Lover XX is a no brainer. Taking the 1982 basketball classic and giving it a slide-inspired makeover, these are perfect for sneakerheads who want basketball performance while lounging in their sweats. Featuring a premium black suede upper, these are completely void of any laces. A Swoosh logo features on the insole and heel, and underfoot, the sail Air midsole is chunkier than ever for comfort and cushioning that knows no bounds.
Exclusively dropping in women's sizes, the Nike Air Force 1 Lover XX Premium Black Sail W will release in Spring 2023 and will retail for $130. Expected to launch at Nike, the SNKRS app, and select online and in-store retailers alongside a range of other colorways, make sure you follow us on Twitter and download our officialMobile App today for your best chance to cop.
