Nike Sportswear “NY Team” Air Force Ones
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Aug 22, 2008
A short while ago DJ Clark Kent hinted at some special Air Force Ones that we would see at the grand opening of the Nike Sportswear Flagship store. No better balance of sports and culture could be better represented than with the “NY Team inspired” Air Force Ones. This collection of three pair of Air Force Ones drew inspiration from the Yankees, Knicks, and Jets. All three were released this morning at the Nike Sportswear Flagship store on Mercer St in NYC.
Each pair executed excellence with an ice bottom and an upper made of different materials. The “Yankees inspired” Air Force 1 used a rich navy suede, “Knicks inspired” made use of canvas, and lastly the “Jets inspired” Forces were constructed using baseball glove green leather. Take a look at each pair after the jump.

I had a feeling you wouldn’t let those slip through the cracks Clark. Stay tuned everybody!
Aug 22, 2008 at 1:10 pm
all three are nice, the knicks is the flyest.
However, wouldn’t baseball leather b used for the yanks/mets instead of a football team?

Aug 22, 2008 at 10:47 am
You would think they would make a NY Giants AF1 too seeing how they won the Super Bowl…but I guess not…
