This Nike Air Force 1 Low Features Reversible Lace Shrouds
As commemorate 40 years of the in 2022, one of the tweaks they're making is adding a lace shroud to the classic hoops-turned-lifestyle model. Though the first two colourways of the to be revealed were far from revolutionary – an expected all-white iteration and a ho-hum mix of black and blue camo – the third colourway plays with tone, texture and more, making it by far the most interesting Air Force 1 Low Shroud we've seen yet.
We'll come right out and say it: the comparisons on this low-cut Air Force 1 are impossible to ignore. The textile material used on the toebox and quarter panel is reminiscent of Scott's Velcro patch-equipped Air Force 1 colabs from and , as is the combo of a white midsole and gum outsole. The shroud itself calls to mind images of the rapper's colab from 2019, and even the powder blue and red accents share shades with the from 2018.
La Flame comparisons aside, this Force's most interesting detail is indeed its lace shroud, which is actually reversible: there's a simple grey side with red Nike branding or a more vibrant red side. It's secured with a Swoosh charm zipper, and if it's a bit much for you it can be removed altogether to reveal the textile tongue underneath.
At the time of writing, a release date for this customisable Air Force 1 has yet to be revealed. However, it's likely to hit shelves in the coming weeks.
