Lil Yachty’s first Nike Air Force 1 collaboration, a pair of white sneakers with navy blue detailing honoring his album label Concrete Boys, was just a pallet cleanser. The musician’s now ready to build on that plain white pair of shoes and deliver something more eye-catching. 

Revealed on Yachty’s “finsta” Instagram account, the next Concrete Boys Air Force 1 comes dressed in crocodile leather. 

Dark green and black (presumably faux) crocodile skin material covers practically all of the shoe, the only exceptions being a black patent overlay at the heel and the Concrete Boys logo embroidered on the heel.

By the very textured nature of crocodile leather, this sneaker is anything but boring — a descriptor that was launched at the previous Nike x Yachty AF1.

Most notably, Instagram content creator Bimma Williams had a few critiques of the sneaker in a video on his Instagram account — “After a year of unwanted white-on-white Air Force 1 collabs, these just feel like a general release,” he says in the video — which led to him and Yachty in a full-blown argument at Complexcon earlier this year, where fans were given a first look at the sneaker. 

Bimma and Yachty eventually settled their differences, jumping on a call together where Yachty described his actions as corny. But this new shoe does inadvertently address his original comments.

Full crocodile skin sneakers? Yeah, that’s not something you expect from a general release. Yachty is leveling up with his next Concrete Boys x Nike collaboration.
