Almost a year after the release of the Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 and we’re still enamored by the collection that included nine retail colorways, eight friends & family pairs, and a Sotheby’s-exclusive colorway that benefitted Virgil Abloh’s “POST-MODERN” scholarship fund. Since the sneaker dropped, a number of samples have surfaced, including a jaw-dropping “Faux Fur” iteration that was revealed at the Virgil Abloh: The Codes c/o Architecture Exhibit. The Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Green Suede” Sample is the latest to resurface as this colorway was first seen on the runway.
While majority of the Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1s were crafted with premium leather, this iteration opts for a thick canvas base and smooth suede overlays. The entire upper is embossed with Louis Vuitton iconic monogram and features OFF-WHITE’s manufacturer stamp on the medial, in a rich shade of Gold. Elsewhere, the sneaker has Sail laces complete with a “LACET” text graphic in Black. The signature Nike Swoosh is outlined with zig-zag stitching and matches the Mossy Green overlays. Finishing details include a White midsole, Sail sockliner, and leather heel tab.
Unfortunately, this Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Green Suede” Sample won’t be releasing, but you can get a detailed look at the pair below. For more sneaker news and release dates, follow @NiceKicks on Instagram.
