Nike Air Force 1 'Color of the Month'

Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: Nike is nodding to the history of the Air Force 1 by bringing back two “Color of the Month” pairs from the ‘80s. The nickname refers to a series of custom colorways that were ordered by Baltimore shop owners at the time. A new color scheme would release each month. The program helped the Air Force 1 maintain its cultural relevancy and grow into the icon we know it as today. These two pairs each feature white leather uppers and gum bottoms with your choice of either red or blue detailing.
