Nike Air Force 1 Low Celebrates 40 Years by Paying Homage to History of Logos
Bruce Kilgore’s Nike Air Force 1 continues to soar across the sneaker landscape in 2022, the legendary 1982 silhouette recently refuelled by high-profile collaborations with Louis Vuitton, Stussy and Billie Eilish.
Famously the first ever basketball to feature Nike Air technology, the Air Force 1 this year celebrates its 40th anniversary, a historic milestone extolled with Nike’s latest in-line colourway.
Layering the uppers with logos recalling its illustrious 40-year history, the AF-1 highlights the steady progression of branding since the silo’s inception, the most notable being the modern era’s embroidered mark overlaying the OG Nike Air motif. A similar theme extends to the tongues, where Nike’s new Swoosh branding displaces a traditional Nike Air logo. Jewel Swooshes are also superimposed onto standard logos at the lateral sides, giving the colourway a mismatched, sacai-like aesthetic. Manufactured in a classic white leather build, the Swoosh have opted for a yellowed sole unit to emphasise the silo’s vintage characteristics.
Finally, ‘Metallic Gold’ lace dubraes replace the silver renditions popular throughout the 2000s, with the topmost eyelets following suit.
Take a look above at the official images of the celebratory Nike Air Force 1 Low slated to hit retailers and on Nike later this year.
