Nike Air Force 1 07 LV8 'Basketball' Now Available in UK Now

With so many lifestyle renditions of the Nike Air Force 1 throughout its long and illustrious life, it’s sometimes easy to forget that the shoe was once the brand’s elite level basketball shoe. They now may be considered clunkers on the court worn by nobody but Rasheed Wallace for actually playing in, but Nike Sportswear pays homage to the iconic model’s roots with a special edition set of the Air Force 1 Low in pebbled basketball leather uppers.The low-top Air Force 1 is bouncing into retailers now in two basketball uppers, in your choice of a traditional orange leather with red accents, or a more subdued black and grey color combination. Each feature double Swooshes, logo patches on the tongues, and canvas quarter panels to complete the clean hoops-inspired looks. 

THE NIKE SF-AF1 “TRIPLE WHITE” RELEASING AT FOOT LOCKER

Up to this point, the “Triple White” Nike SF-AF1 has been a limited release, and even though Foot Locker just announced that they’ll be launching the shoe this Thursday, it looks like that exclusivity won’t entirely be gone. That’s because the all-white edition of the bold new take on the Air Force 1 will only be dropping at a few Foot Locker locations around New York City, as well as a random Foot Locker in Tampa, Florida of all places. If you’re after a pair, check the Foot Locker Launch Locator for specific locations that will be stocking the sought-after sneaker this Thursday, December 8th.

NSW x LeBron James Collection – Available

Presumably among the key factors guiding LeBron James’ decision to join the Miami Heat last summer would be that winters in South Beach are a bit milder than the lake-effect snow-filled cold half of the year in Cleveland. But with 41* away games guaranteed each year and a litany of opportunities to hop on a private jet, a guy like King James has gotta be prepared for all environs, and for that this new Nike Sportswear collection seems a perfect fit. The LeBron James x Nike Air Force 1 Low and Air Max Conquer ACG both come entirely blacked-out, save select branding elements like the lion tongue tag on the Conquers. Click through so you can see more details on both pairs and look for these now at select NSW stockists like Caliroots.

Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke by Geoff Miller

We recently gave you a look at a pair of Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke’s by Steven Pinkerton who’s friend Geoff Miller was at 21 Mercer during the same visit to dress up a pair of AF1 Bespoke’s of his own! Geoff gives us a first look at his Bespoke which by the way is the first pair of Nike Air Force 1′s he’s owned, talk about stepping into the Force game right Geoff did just that. Taking inspiration from his car, Geoff hit his Bespoke with a clean refreshing look using a Dark Grey patent leather base with a Grey reverse perforated leather toe which features a 3M underlay allowing these kicks to get their shine on! Aside from that Geoff used a reverse Blue nubuck on the Swoosh and a White leather under Swoosh while a Metallic Silver patent leather tongue hits nice with the Grey perforated leather guts and 3M detailing on the lace loop and back heel stay. To complete the overall look of these kicks a Milk sole was placed underneath. Be sure to check the detailed look below and let us know your thoughts?

Nike Air Force 1 Low VT Premium – Medium Grey

The latest release from Nike Sportswear finds itself in the crux of a number of peaking trends; let’s examine each of the forces contributing to this new Nike Air Force 1 Low VT Premium. First off is the AF1 Low model that’s been revitalized ever since last summer’s explosion, one that along with its hightop counterpart has played a major role in this season’s NSW VacTech collection. Not only that, but there have been several Air Force 1 VTs done in grey, and this pair’s monochromatic construction shows off the kind of colorblocking historians will most strongly associate with this era. So this fossil-colored VacTech Air Force 1 Low is not only a representation of all things currently fresh, but also a model you might want to get in multiples for time capsule purposes. Be it one or several pairs you’re after, NSW retailers like Titolo are the way to go.

Nov 14 · Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke by Steven Pinkerton ‘Round 3′

The third time’s the charm, or so they say, but when your first Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke was as good as Steven Pinkerton’s Cookie Monster-inspired ‘Round 1′, it takes something special to be the winning entrant. But we haven’t seen too many Bespokes like Pinkerton’s latest, the ‘Round 3′ defined by the textures apparent on the range of premium materials making up their uppers. It starts at the toe with a Maharam fabric featring tonal green digi-camo and continues the earthy vibe with Loden green on the suede Swoosh and perforated lenticular side panels. Those same large gauge perfs are replicated on the white rear quarter that gives these a lighter feel than had they employed any other color; does this unique take on the autumn hunter vibe make for Stevens best Bespokes yet? Let us know with a comment after you look at some more photos below the jump and schedule with 21 Mercer to create your pair today.
