Another Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Mid arrives in 2023, this time in a “Pine Green” colourway that pays homage to the communities that helped define what the Air Force 1 means today. Unlike the previous “Mid White” and “Mid Black” iterations from ’22, this version arrives in a full leather construction.
With green being a rare shade of colour when it comes to the Off-White x Nike collaborative palette, it is now the second edition to land after the “Green Spark” or “Brooklyn” Air Force 1 Low that arrived in 2022. Similar to the other two mid-iterations, this upper features the Flywire cabling that we first saw on the Off-White x Dunk Low from 2019, here with a white rope that matches the Swoosh and embroidered accents.
On the lateral heel sits a candle just under the Off-White orange tab, another key detail in the brand’s collaborative arsenal. The spiked midsole returns from the Terra Kiger 5 and is Virgil’s way of referencing Nike performance and how he championed their innovative technology, even on the ‘80s basketball icon. A common feature in the library of Virgil’s work is the extended tongue, here once again with the addition of contemporary “AIR” branding embroidered onto the tongue.
