Nike Air Force 1 Low x Supreme

This Nike Air Force 1 Low x Supreme is both elegant and refined as its stripped back design and minimal use of colour makes for a classic look. Simply known as White due to its mostly monochrome construction, it has been built upon the reliable base given to most AF1s. This means that the heel and forefoot alike are supported by circular grip lines that radiate out across them to facilitate twisting and turning motions. In between the two are a few linear tread patterns beside an indented piece with Nike branding embossed onto it. The edges, meanwhile, deliver all-round traction via the use of chunky lugs along the sides of the foot and embossed stars on the toe and heel.

Moving upwards, the midsole also takes on a traditional appearance thanks to the Air text and the thick band of rubber rising out of the heel, the line of stitching set into a groove around its top edge and its all-white complexion. Its interior also resembles that of other Air Force 1 colourways as it puts foam cushioning alongside Nike Air to make the whole thing extremely comfortable to walk on.

Above this, the leather-clad upper is also white from heel to toe. It is made up of layered panels, with the lowest one visible through the midfoot and the toe box and the next forming overlays around the forefoot and the back of the shoe. These two are connected to the others via intricate lines of stitching that run in pairs along their edges. Further layering occurs with the eyestay, the heel tab, the strip of leather running down the centre of the heel and, finally, the large swooshes that adorn the sidewalls. Each of these premium leather panels is attached with single bands of stitching, except for the inner part of the eyestay, which has two lines of white thread skirting along its edge.

A series of intriguing effects then appear over the top of the foot, starting with the lines of perforations that fan out across the toe box to ventilate the forefoot. Above this, a white swoosh has been embroidered into the bottom of the eyestay, and further up, the laces are adorned with a silver dubrae that has AF-1 and Supreme text etched into its surface. The sneaker is supplied with different lacing options, including a white set that matches the theme of the shoe and a more vibrant pair that comes in bright red with white Supreme lettering woven repeatedly through the middle. Moving even further up the shoe, the peak of the white tongue contains a similarly coloured patch decorated with both a Supreme logo and a Nike Air emblem in fine white embroidery.

The shoe’s interior then features an eye-catching piece of branding as alongside the Nike Air text printed upon the insole, both of which are white, is a Supreme box logo in full colour, its red and white shading clear for all to see. The cosy inner walls are also white, before another beaming red Supreme logo shows up on the lateral heel, adding a captivating final flourish to this classy sneaker.
