It's hard to fathom that Bruce Kilgore knew what he had stumbled on when he designed the original closures Air Force 1. The closures Air Force 1 was the first of Nike's basketball shoes to use their air sole technology and has become one of the most iconic silhouettes of all time. The closures Air Force 1 has probably seen more colorways and remix renditions than any other shoe in history. Most designs pay homage to such a sneaker legend, that is until the Jaquemus closures Air Force 1 stepped on the scene.
The French luxury label has been working on an closures Air Force 1 collaboration behind the scenes, and it probably should've stayed there. New images of the shoe are a betrayal of the name and shouldn't be allowed to use the closures Air Force 1 name. The Nike Footscape style weaving from the upper to the midsole is similar to what we see on the upcoming cheap nike roshe run print camo shoes collaboration but takes the weave a step further. The weave goes from the upper, over the midsole (the closures Air Force 1s most recognizable attribute), and runs onto the outsole. The primary paneling on the upper is the lone feature related to an closures Air Force 1, as the original shape has been stripped away.
There haven't been any release details about the Jacquemus closures Air Force 1 yet, but it costs $150. When their time comes, the shoes will release on the nike air max 1 sizing silver metallic nike sneakers Twitter and Instagram nike air max 1 paris floral shoes.
