Nike’s Air Force 1 receives a glossy black update

Words by Tara Smith

2017 was a massive year for Nike’s Air Force 1.

The popular silhouette celebrated its 35^th birthday, arriving in a number of new colourways and textures.

This year, the Air Force 1 LX ’07 has received a glossy black and all-white update, complete with tonal stitching and varying textures.

The black edition features an all-black rubber outsole, while different leathers appear on both styles across the uppers.

No word on the Australian release of the new Air Force 1 yet, but we’re holding out hope.
