2006: Year of the Dog
Nike Air Force 1 Hyperstrike

2006’s submissions aren’t easy to dog. Two versions released with enough differences to justify grabbing both. On the Hyperstrike version, the toe box featured dragon laser etchings and soft pony hair. The less-limited shoe featured a tonal leather upper, foxing embroidery and the same print from the other shoe’s tip on its heel panel. A game changer, the Dogs broke the spell of simple kicks and sent the Swoosh down a more bold path.
