A vast collection of 40th Anniversary commemorative releases have been prepared by the Swoosh as the brand reaches an epic climax for the Air Force 1’s big birthday. Among the various styles arranged for the occasion is this logo-heavy concept that sees a brief history of emblems stacked above one another in layered fashion.
While we’ve already seen this style in both the Air Force 1 Low and High iterations, we’re seeing this brand new colorway that combines an elegant sail and team red and accents it with metallic gold on the lace dubrae and eyelets. The heel logo throws back to the original text used in the originals issues from 1982, while a “40” is pressed into the leather at the heel.
Why are Air Force 1s so popular?
The classic yet stylish look, proportions, availability, comfort and wearability all factor into the Air Force 1s popularity. Air Force 1s look great with most casual outfits and have a rich history that appeals to sneaker fanatics
