Air Force Friday: Pixie Stix

Summer is right around the corner, and with the bright sun comes bright-colored clothes and kicks. In 2006, Nike dropped this beauty and dubbed it the “Pixie Stix” Air Force 1s. This pair was a premium quickstrike (like many 06 patent leather AF1’s) release, so unfortunately, they sold out out extremely fast.

Nike decided to use only two colors of patent leather on the upper. Specifically, the light blue patent leather toe cap/midfoot contrasts perfectly with the yellow patent leather heel. It is also complimented with a white patent leather swoosh, a white midsole and a yellow outsole. Its complimentary, distinctive touches include a yellow/blue tongue label that gives it that summer feel. Did you manage to grab a pair in 2006?
