The Air Force 1 ‘01 is here. After years of Nike rolling out endless colorways of the Air Force 1 ‘07 shape, the beloved ‘01 tooling is back, and it's not just for collabs and pre-orders. While we wait for the extremely limited drop of Steven Victor’s Victor Victor AF1 ‘01 collection, the 25-year-old silhouette is back in some era-appropriate patent leather for a new in-line pack.
Cracked Patent Vintage
The Nike Air Force 1 Low '01 Cracked Leather Menta is the bright pair from a cracked patent pack, arriving alongside a matching but subdued pair in black and white. On both pairs, the shoes take on traditional two-tone AF1 blocking with a cracked fabric pattern across the entire upper, like a vintage vinyl couch or cracked seats on an old-school lowrider.
