Nike Celebrates the 40th Anniversary of the Air Force 1 with a “Malachite” Colorway

As one of the most timeless sneakers on the market, it’s hard to believe that the Air Force 1 has been around for 40 years. To celebrate, the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Malachite” honors the commemorative anniversary.

This Nike Air Force 1 Low has a classic “Sail” upper made with tumbled leather. At first glance this sneaker may seem simple, but its essence shines in the details. As you take a closer look at the heel counter, you’ll notice a small embossed “40” surrounded with star icons, in honor of the sneaker’s anniversary. Gold details on the eyelets and lace dubrae, pair nicely with the “Malachite” leather, giving the sneaker a regal flair. The insole of the sneaker is marked with “82-22,” a nod to the sneaker’s historic timeline.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Malachite” is expected to October 13th. The price is $130. To purchase, visit Nike.com and select retailers. For more sneaker news and updates, follow @NiceKicks on Instagram.
