The new Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit is here (and only half the weight of the original)
Super fly.
The Nike Air Force 1 is one of the most iconic kicks in the sneaker world. With roots in basketball and legend status in street culture, it continues to be one of Nike’s most recognisable silhouettes.
The shoe’s latest remake combines the Air Force 1 with Nike’s breathable and lightweight Flyknit material.
If this combination isn’t interesting enough for you, the story behind its conception definitely is. We’re talking 12-hour inspiration strolls around Paris in the summer, allowing designers to realise the shoe had to be made lighter and more flexible. An epiphany at its finest.
If you’ve ever worn an Air Force 1, you’ll understand what we’re on about.
Sneakerheads will also be happy to know the incorporation of the Flyknit means reduced creasing on the toe vamp.
Fun fact, it’s also half the weight of the original.
The Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit is available for purchase in store and online now.
