School Daze: Nike Adds Yellow Plaid to a Women’s Exclusive Air Force 1

School is out for the summer, but Nike is still in uniform. From pleated school skirts to 1980s punk energy, all the way to its Scottish origins, plaid has been a staple in fashion for centuries. In pop culture, though, black and yellow plaid in particular conjures one image - and phrase - in particular… as if!

Not Getting a Pair? Totally Buggin’

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Yellow Plaid (W) is quickly getting a new nickname as the Clueless Air Force 1 for its resemblance to Alicia Silverstone’s iconic yellow plaid skirt suit in the classic ‘90s comedy, Clueless. Covered from toe to heel in yellow and black, the colorway matches Cher’s driving test outfit better than any pair of heels.

The checkered black and yellow fabric moves in constantly shifting directions as the paneling stacks, with a black Swoosh, tongue, laces, sockliner, and outsole adding some solid colors in between. The midsole is white for a bit of classic contrast, but at the end of the day, the focus is all on the plaid.
