Collaborations on the Air Force 1 Low can feel… cheap. The traditionally all-white silhouette has been subject to some pretty lazy makeovers in the last few years, best exemplified by Travis Scott’s “Utopia” AF1, which slapped brown “Utopia” text on the lateral heel of the GR Triple White AF1. However, there are instances where adding minimal details can elevate the sneaker, like with Sushi Club’s upcoming Uptown.
If you’re unfamiliar with Sushi Club, the restaurant/clothing brand is the brainchild of Chris Stamp and Nobu Matsuhisa, the world-renowned chef behind Nobu. We previously saw Sushi Club’s New York and Beverly Hills locations get their own Triple White AF1s, which were essentially GR Air Forces with the restaurant's logos applied to the insole and lateral heel. The $275 AF1s launched in limited quantities, but this latest collab will be more widely available and come in at a more affordable price.
