Another classic Nike sneaker is getting some work done under the trunk in the name of skateboarding.
The Nike SB Air Force 1 Low follows the lead of the Air Jordan 4 and Air Max 95 in being reappropriated by Nike’s skateboarding line. Extra padding has been added around the ankle, while the shoe’s overall build has been shortened. While not unprecedented, suede is used for the upper in the name of greater flexibility, and the requisite branding swaps have been made on the tongue, mustache and lace dubrae.
