The latest idea of the Nike team to surprise its fans is to play with an Air Force 1 weather that can change color (and even mood) thanks to the sunlight.
The model designed by Bruce Kilgore is re-proposed in 2 apparently very similar versions but with a very different surprise effect: they have in common the white leather panels, a monochromatic midsole combined with a semi-transparent ice blue sole. The most anticipated Air Force 1 of the season is the UV Reactive that completely changes its look when exposed to UV rays:: the upper characterized by a particular photosensitive coating allows the shoe to go from a completely white canvas to a multicolor invasion. The end result is an explosion of colors such as blue, yellow, fuchsia and lilac that emerge only in the open air and that "turn off" when worn indoors.
From the same series, Nike offers a second "minimal" version with the Air Force 1 Low UV Reactive Swoosh model in hammered leather. Swoosh logos on the hips and Nike Air branded heel tabs enclose UV technology that changes shades from optical white to blue and magenta.
Color, cut, create. Nike puts the fate of sneakers in your hands, with a series of mutant models that change appearance not only thanks to the weather but also to the wear of time or simply customized according to your creativity.
Always the Air Force 1 Low model follows with the “do-it-yourself” concept with the Reveal series which is distinguished by a particular upper made of removable fabric. Just read the "TEAR HERE" print and follow the scissor icons to remove the surface layer: below the surface it reveals a colorblock in bright shades such as red, blue, yellow and purple that paint the various areas from the toe box to the heel. , including the iconic Swoosh Warning: don't get anxious, this is a rebellious shoe suitable for those with steady hands.
The Dunk SB also lend themselves to the transformation game with the "Civilist" variant, created in partnership with the homonymous skateshop in Berlin. The peculiarity of this sneakers lies in the leather that surrounds the dark upper, which reacting to the heat, changes color to reveal a psychedelic fantasy that recalls the heatmaps.
From hot to cold. Inspired by the snow that covers the jade statues on the outside of Chinese buildings, the white outer cladding of the Dunk Low Disrupt "Forbidden City" intentionally "melts" over time to reveal vibrant shades of terracotta orange on the base and aquamarine green on the overlays. , up to the lime yellow of the iconic Nike Swoosh.
The visionary artist G-Dragon also follows the concept of "lived-in" sneakers with the new Air Force 1 Low Peaceminusone Para-noise. The shoe with a clear look reveals its polyvalent upper nature, whose white layer after wear will tend to ruin and detach, revealing a colorful graffiti-style pattern.
Travis Scott is certainly the character he has experienced the most in recent years. One example is his multi-layered creature Dunk SB in collaboration with Nike. The shoe is decorated with a bandana-themed fabric along the toe box and heel support that can be torn off revealing another patterned underlying layer. The look is completed by the tartan inserts and the gray central panels on which rope laces and the tongue tab with the “Cactus Jack“ logo stand out.
