Description
This ethos is vividly embodied in the latest white-on-white release, which subtly integrates hues reminiscent of North Carolina’s iconic palette. This familiar design, first seen in 2018, has been revived, offering a fresh yet nostalgic addition to the Air Force 1 lineage.
While this pair doesn’t boast a new model name, it incorporates several distinctive features from the Air Force 1 utility line introduced in 2018. This evolution of the classic silhouette includes a rear pull tab for enhanced functionality, nylon mesh side paneling for a modern textural contrast, and an additional, smaller Swoosh adorning the side for a unique twist on Nike’s iconic branding. These modifications pay homage to the sneaker’s utility roots and infuse the timeless design with a contemporary edge.
The colorway—a crisp white complemented by navy accents—draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of Nike’s historical designs, echoing the aesthetic of previous Dodgers-themed releases from Oregon. Although this Air Force 1 “Obsidian/Photo Blue” lacks official ties to any sports club, its color scheme is universally appealing, making it an ideal choice for ushering in the sporting season or adding a classic touch to any casual ensemble.
