There is an endless debate about the most influential and iconic shoe in sneaker history, but at the end of the day, there are three main candidates: the Air Jordan 1, the adidas Superstar, and the Nike Air Force 1. On Nike’s latest pair of Forces, Beaverton is looking back at the icon and recalling a grail collab pair of AF1s from 2007.
Ostrich for an Icon
The Nike Air Force 1 Low LX Icon Green Apple is an inline pair that looks like a collab, featuring a full coat of sour apple green leather across the entire silhouette, with more green on the midsole, tongue, laces, and tongue tag. On the Swoosh and heel tab, the same green color pops, but a switch to ostrich leather adds a luxurious feel.
The only transition away from green comes on the gold lace dubrae and the matching “1Icon” logo at the lateral heel. Adding the same lateral heel logo placement found on many collabs, the lux inline pair makes the AF1’s iconic status known. The insoles add even more Air Force energy, with an X-ray image of the shoe sitting inside.
Inspiration comes from the Mad Hectic Nike Air Force 1 Low from 2007. That pair used red ostrich leather throughout and was part of Mad Hectics' 1LOVE campaign. Nike puts a spin on the logo used for that campaign by applying the "1CON" logo to the lateral heel.
