Air Force Friday: 2006 St. Patrick’s Day

Nike is no stranger to dropping dope releases with holiday themes, and this St. Patty’s Day drop was no different. This shoe features a perfect balance of green patent leather and white patent leather on the base. This pair was a premium quickstrike release so unfortunately they sold out out extremely fast.

Nike decided to use only two colors of patent leather on the upper. Specifically, the green patent leather toe cap/midfoot contrasts perfectly with the white patent leather heel. It is also complimented with a white patent leather swoosh, a white midsole and a green translucent outsole. Its complimentary, distinctive touches include a leprechaun hat on the heel tab and a tongue label that signifies the day of St. Patrick.
