Nike Remixes a Classic Combo with the Air Force 1 Low "Anthracite"
Name: Nike Air Force 1 LowColorway: Anthracite/Gum Yellow-Safety Orange-WhiteSKU: II7630-001MSRP: $115 USDWhere to Buy: NikeBlack, white and gum have long been core shades for the Air Force 1, both individually and as a combined offering. While the first two are typically used as tones for the upper and midsole, Nike has used the third to provide a pop of alternate flair to dozens (if not hundreds) of the silhouette's colorways since it first debuted in 1982. Now, that classic energy is back in a fresh, slightly remixed fashion thanks to the Air Force 1 Low "Anthracite."Drawing its name from the ultra-dark grey shade that's used on its upper — just a few tones below a proper black — the "Anthracite" supplies contrasting details with white laces, Swooshes, and midsoles, while down below the ever-so-appealing gum makes its presence felt on the outsole. The details don't end there, however, as the standard nylon tongue is swapped out for one with a breathable mesh, and a few minor hits of "Safety Orange" get into the mix thanks to their placement on the tongue tag and heel's "Nike Air" branding. Insoles provide a finishing touch to the retro sport look with their own mesh pattern.Nike has yet to announce a release date for the Air Force 1 Low "Anthracite," but it's expected to touch down on the brand's webstore in the coming months. When it does, it should be priced at $115 USD.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
