Slam Jam x Nike Air Force 1
These shoes were dropped on September 20th and are already a hit with some sneakerheads. In a collaboration between Nike and Slam Jam are these unique Air Force 1s. Although these snekaers are already available at Slam Jam stores, they will soon be sold at a number of different Nike retailers as well.
The distinctively processed leather created a patent leather look but with extra shine and a slight wrinkling. This Air Force 1 is available in four different colors as of right now – gray, black, red and yellow. Besides the extra shiny leather, the colorways are actually quite simple with a white swoosh, laces and sole. A couple extras include screw-on lace aglets and the combination stainless steal and leather keychain. Via Hypebeast.
