Over the last decade, women’s-exclusive product from NIKE, Inc. has increased in numbers. And while the company still lags behind in designing footwear from scratch for its women audience, it has struck gold with modifications to certain men’s options. Case in point?: The Nike Air Force 1 Shadow, a fashion-forward take on Bruce Kilgore’s 1982 basketball shoe.
Debuted in 2019, the model garnered attention immediately, likely for its similarities to offerings from sacai. Exaggerated details and compelling colorways have made the Air Force 1-variant a popular choice among women sneaker enthusiasts, for whom Nike Sportswear is prepping an upcoming collection. While no specific name has been unveiled for the capsule, the lineup is set to include a Nike Dunk High covered in “Racer Blue”-colored satin. The upcoming take on Kilgore’s 40-year-old creation favors a “White” ensemble complimented by stark blue, “Atomic Green” and crimson tones. Insoles feature a modified version of a tagline Nike has used for Michael Jordan and other elite athletes over the years: “Designed to the exact specifications of her.”
Enjoy official images of the pair ahead, and anticipate a Nike.com launch soon.
