Nike Air Force 1 High x Riccardo Tisci

This bright Air Force 1 High x Riccardo Tisci sneaker brings together a collection of rich tones for an appealing design. The Team Orange outsole has intricately formed stars wrapping around its toe and heel, uniform lugs along its edges and circular indentations across its centre to provide all-round grip. Its bold colouring is juxtaposed by the white Air-cushioned midsole, whose embossed Air lettering is accompanied by the initials of the Italian fashion designer who worked on the design.

Smooth, premium leather can be seen throughout the upper, giving this sneaker a luxe feel. In the forefoot, a Sunblush mudguard encircles a Bordeaux toe box whose perforations are arranged into a triangle formation. Atop this lies an embroidered, NBA-inspired patch with red and blue either side of a white Nike swoosh that sits next to R.T. text and a star – another one of Tisci’s symbols. Above this, a Team Orange eyestay extends up over the top of the foot, all the way to the peak of the high-top collar. White laces tie this feature together, and a woven ankle strap secures the ankle. This adjustable strap, which has Sunblush edges and a band of Team Orange through its centre, is also removable.

The plain Team Orange tongue has a white rim to match the white leather that covers the inside of the collar. Below this lies a Sunblush insole imprinted with more dual branding to reflect this powerful collaboration. The same can be said of the heel panel, whose Bordeaux surface has Nike and R.T. text sewn into it in the pleasant pink hue of Sunblush. Adorning the sneaker’s sidewalls are the logos of this duo. Riccardo Tisci’s star is first, appearing on the side of the heel in deep purple Bordeaux tones, before a Team Orange Nike swoosh extends across it to finish over the white midfoot panel, thus rounding out this impressive design.
