Nike Air Force 1 '07

The crisp white overlays on this Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 give it an appealing elegance. White covers the whole sneaker, including the entirety of the sole unit. This stout structure features an Air-cushioned midsole with embossed Air lettering on the lateral heel on top of an outsole with pivot-circle grip formations that provide a steady footing.

Resting atop this strong foundation is a fully white upper made of durable leather. It is divided into a number of different sections with clean lines of stitching holding things together while also creating an intriguing set of patterns over its exterior. A forefoot mudguard surrounds a perforated toe box, whose ventilation holes fan out in lines from the bottom of the eyestay towards the end of the foot. The eyestay itself extends up to the collar, bordering the other sections along the shoe’s flanks, including the midfoot panels and the rear overlay.

Classic white swooshes have been laid over these last two sections. They meet at the heel panel, which has Nike Air text sewn into it. Meanwhile, the padded collar and soft tongue offer the wearer comfort around the foot. A patch on the tongue exhibits more Nike Air branding, which appears only subtly as its white tone blends in with the same colour beneath. Within the shoe, the insole has its own distinctive branding. This includes an off-white emblem printed with white Nike Air lettering on the right foot and a smaller graphic with the number 82 on the left to indicate the year of the first Air Force 1 model. A shiny silver lace dubrae inlaid with AF1 lettering adds a final flashy touch to this graceful sneaker.
