Description
Nike Air Force 1 Low Shadow
Release Date: October 3rd, 2019
Style Code: CI0919-100
They say you can’t beat a classic, and when it comes to Nike, there’s arguably nothing more quintessential than a pair of white-on-white Air Force 1 Lows. The pristine leather sneakers have captured the hearts and minds of rappers, rockers, street style aficionados, skaters, and more since their original arrival in the ’80s, and now they’ve been re-worked once again thanks to the new Air Force 1 Low Shadow. Although the airy tones and elegant materials that first made the Force famous are all present and accounted for, there are plenty of deconstructed details to be had here as well. The Shadow practices both subtraction and addition, adding layered details but removing stitching for a look that — although more complex than the original — provides a stripped-back style. Two mudguards, two sets of eyestays, and a loose-hanging collar piece all contribute to the artistic endeavors, as does the delicately-stitched Swoosh and extra branded rubber tab that wraps from the lateral side of the midsole to the heel.
Marshal –
I’m one of the least fashionable people and I’m obsessed with these shoes! Not a knock on the shoes, they’re just awesome. They’re perfectly “90s back in style.” When I look in a full length mirror, I swear they make me look fitter and perkier. They’re super comfy and flattering. I love to wear them with leggings and oversized t-shirts… and especially to the airport because they give off travel fashion vibes. The ankle support is a little weird so I wouldn’t hike in them or anything, but I’ve worn them all day multiple times and my feet and legs are happy by the end of the day. 11/10 recommend.
