Description
Two years ahead of its 40th Anniversary, the Nike Air Force 1 has adopted and popularized technical and design innovations from the Swoosh. From Nike React cushioning to a double-layered aesthetic, the experimentation seldom takes a break on Bruce Kilgore’s design. For its latest endeavor, the 1982 silhouette doesn’t deviate much from its inaugural look, but taps 3M for its signature reflective detailing. The Air Force 1 High pictured here grabs all attention given the reflective accents throughout the tongue, midfoot and heel. Although the luminous panels have appeared on previously-surfaced takes on the Air Max 90 and Air Max 95, its inclusion on this tall Air Force 1 is unaccompanied by high-vis orange and green hues. Instead, the silver components are left to indulge in the spotlight (quite literally) by themselves.
