Nike’s Air Force 1 sneaker celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, and it’s doing so with a collection of makeovers. The last two months have seen the all-white staple elevated with oxford details and pearls, while collaborators like Billie Eilish have modified the sneaker with velcro straps. Each revamp seems to push the Air Force 1 (and its wearers) to new limits.
The latest version of the sneaker is no exception. Oversized bows, lace eyelets, and pleated white panels now cover the shoe’s upper, resulting in a bold yet delicate AF1. An hourglass logo — first seen on another unreleased Air Force 1 — sits at the heel, suggesting the ornate sneaker is part of a larger women’s collection.
