Description
The pair works on a low-cut construction, making it easy to wear and effortless to style. it also pulls influence from the UNDEFEATED x Nike Dunk High “Ballistic” that released in 2013. The counterparts are then done up in suede and leather, further elevating the high-profile look.
Coated in a military green tone and shades of olive all over, the base features a multi-textured ballistic mesh adding extreme durability to the model.
The former is responsible for outfitting the ballistic toe boxes and quarter paneling, as well as the buttery suede overlays that accompany. Shoe laces, Swooshes, interior liners and the five strike logos which are planted onto the tongue tabs and lateral heels are all clad in stark black. Moving down, the midsoles are prepared with an off-white paint job to give a slightly aged look, and come coupled with plain black treading.
A History of UNDFTD Sneaker Collaborations
For well over a decade, Undefeated has helped define boutique culture in the sneaker world. Founded in 2002 by Eddie Cruz and James Bond, LA-based streetwear and sneaker boutique UNDEFEATED have blazed a trail, and within a year was working on its first collaboration with Nike. This is a relationship that has continued to this very day, as seen with this week’s upcoming releases. Their series of Nike and Jordan collaborations have become some of the most storied and sought after in sneaker history.
Top 6 Undefeated Sneaker Collaborations
6.Undefeated x Nike Kobe 5 Protro “What If Pack Release 2020
It wasn’t supposed to happen like this. The Kobe 5 Proto “What If” collaboration, a two-pair box set of sneakers released in August 2020, was originally intended to mark Kobe Bryant’s induction into the NBA Hall of Fame this year. Instead, it arrived during Mamba Week as one of the first truly limited Nike Kobes dropped in the wake of his death in January.
5.Undefeated x Nike Kobe 4 Protro Release 2019
There were so many other shoes that were considered for the list. But Undefeated getting to do the Nike Kobe 4 is a big deal. It’s arguably the most important Kobe Bryant sneaker, definitely the one that changed the trajectory of his line, and influenced a generation of players to wear low-cut shoes. The sneakers come in four different colorways and reference different parts of Bryant’s career, with 8 and 24 on the heel, like him playing at Rice High School
4.Undefeated x Nike Zoom Kobe 1 Release 2018
The hometown shop got to work the hometown hero on his first signature Nike shoe. That’s a dream come true. And they made a ton of pairs. Some referencing Undefeated’s past — white leather with a gum sole and another for the Air Jordan IV — and a handful of pairs in camo.
3.Undefeated x Nike Air Max 97 Release 2017
Amid Nike’s year-long celebration of the Air Max 97’s 20th anniversary, Undefeated dropped a duo of Air Max 97s that paid homage to Gucci. Black and white-based pairs touted patent leather mudguards, and red and green stripes bearing Undefeated script branding wrapping the upper as a nod to the iconic fashion house.
2.Undefeated x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Wild Berry”
this collaboration could’ve sat on the shelves of UNDEFEATED back in 2005-6 and sneakerheads would have been none the wiser, because they certainly are representative of the era. Its uppers use a fruity mix of light and dark blue, pink, red, purple, maroon, and peach pink – all in patent leather. UNDEFEATED’s ‘five strike’ logo appears on the tongue and heel, and their wordmark is remade into large dubrae, another element reminiscent of a bygone era. Continuing this stylistic throwback is the ice outsoles, which are now tinted more blue to prevent the premature yellowing that older AF-1 releases can be prone to
1.Undefeated x Air Jordan IV
This is the one. You knew this was coming. The Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 collaboration is considered the ultimate grail by many sneaker enthusiasts. Originally released in 2005, the military-inspired Air Jordan 4 was limited to 72 total pairs. Only 50 were raffled off in-store, while seven were part of an online raffle and the rest were reserved for friends and family. It’s scarce availability isn’t the only reason it’s so coveted though. It isn’t too often we see Air Jordan 4 collabs.
What is the difference between Nike Air Force 1 and AF1 low?
They are pretty much the same shoe. Only difference is the af1 has Air Force one spelled out instead of af1 on the shoe and the midsole is lower on originals.
Why are Air Force 1s so popular?
The classic yet stylish look, proportions, availability, comfort and wearability all factor into the Air Force 1s popularity. Air Force 1s look great with most casual outfits and have a rich history that appeals to sneaker fanatics
