Nime AF1 Low Anthracite HERO

Dropping way back in 2002, the is a true IYKYK grail. Sleek, futuristic and gone before most even clocked it, the iteration became a deep archive favourite. Now, the Swoosh are giving it a subtle nod through an AF-1 that borrows the model's icy palette and ahead-of-its-time attitude.

The 'Anthracite' colourway stays true to the spirit of the original, featuring a sleek black leather upper paired with crisp white Swooshes and midsoles, offering a sharp contrast and timeless refresh. On top of that, the gum outsoles serve as a homage to the OG pair, grounding the silhouette with an instantly recognisable touch of heritage flair.

In a departure from a straightforward reissue, the traditional white heel cup is replaced with a refined black leather variant, while the addition of orange embroidery makes for a simplistic but striking accent to the otherwise minimalist design.
