Its upper is constructed with a Mocha Durabuck base, white leather overlays, and signature reverse Swooshes. Hits of red on the Wings logo heel embroidery and woven tongue label give a sharp contrast to the design’s neutral look. From there, a yellowed Air sole adds a vintage feel.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Color of the Month
Nike celebrates the 40th Anniversary of the Nike Air Force 1 by bringing back the classic all-white AF-1 Low in a style close to its original form.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low Color of the Month pays tribute to Baltimore-area sports shops in the mid-1980s who kept the AF-1 from extinction through their Colors of the Month series, which proved the AF-1 as a street staple. In a traditional fashion, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Color of the Month arrives in a classic triple white leather construction atop a matching Air sole. At the heel, Nike Air embroidery reminiscent of the original AF-1 styling is featured instead of the Swoosh embroidery of the last two decades. Included with the shoes is a special edition shoe-cleaning toothbrush to hold as a memento, or to keep your shoes crisp.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low Color of the Month releases on Thursday, July 21st for $150 on the SNKRS app and in select stores.

Nike Dunk Low Jackie Robinson
Just 75 years ago, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball when he stepped onto the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers in his MLB debut. Nike honors the legacy of the iconic civil rights activist and baseball hero with the Nike Dunk Low Jackie Robinson.
The Nike Dunk Low Jackie Robinson boasts a Brooklyn Dodgers color palette with a light grey Durabuck upper, royal blue leather overlays, an embroidered mini-Swoosh at the toe, and a felted side Swoosh – reminiscent of baseball caps in the late-1940s. Throughout the design, Robinson’s famous quote, “I’m not concerned with you liking or disliking me…All I ask is that you respect me as a human being”, is printed in a pattern format. At the heel, Robinson’s number 42 is embroidered, providing a custom feel.
The Nike Dunk Low Jackie Robinson releases on Tuesday, July 19th for $130 on the SNKRS app and in select Nike retailers.
