Turns Out: Nike’s All-Black Air Force 1 Has a Soft (& Silky) Side
Nike's "Triple Black" Air Force 1 Low sneaker may get a bad rep in the sneaker world (it's become a running joke of sorts where Black Forces mean criminal activity is afoot). But for me, the Black Air Force 1s have always been as clean and crisp as the much-loved white pairs...even if it is evil-twin-coded.
With Nike's latest Air Force 1 drop, the brand is finally showing the world that the Black Forces ain't so bad after all. The latest pairs introduce us to the classic's softer side.
Nike's Triple Black Forces get a delicate but also elegant makeover, as silky black satin blankets the model's uppers and bring a new sheeny vibe to the iconic Air Force 1 designed by Bruce Kilgore.
But that's not even the best part. Nike tops off its new dainty Air Force 1 shoes with satin pink shoelaces, further prettifying the shoe while supplying some pleasing contrast against the all-black design.
Nike's Air Force 1 is just the latest Swoosh shoe to slip into a girlcore outfit. Last year, the brand also debuted a new tabi-toe Air Rift with satin ankle ties, while the Nike Cortez went full hyper-feminine with silky uppers like the newest Air Force 1s.
Regarding the satin Nike Air Force 1 Low sneakers, these beautiful iterations are expected to drop in the summer.
It may be a little hot for the all-black satin sneakers during the sweltering time of year. But hey, at least they'll be ready for cutesy steppin' in the fall.
