Air Force Friday: “Sakura Ueno”

Nike really created a gem with this 2005 release. The “Sakura Ueno” Air Force 1, a Japan exclusive, is well-known throughout the sneaker community as one of the better Air Force 1 ever designed. The theme for this sneaker is ?Sakura? which means ?cherry blossom? in Japanese. Nike carefully designed this sneaker and the slide top, wooden, lasered box it came in.

It is comprised of a premium light bone color suede that is covered in laser-etched cherry blossoms, mainly seen on the toe box and midfoot. The shoe also incorporates a white midsole that rests atop an icy, watermelon outsole. Did you manage to get your hands on a pair of these? Click here to share with us your opinion on this shoe.
