Nike’s recent experiment with tartan prints on some of their most iconic models continues, as after the Air Max 1 received a special makeover courtesy of the patterned fabric, the Air Force 1 Low is the next classic silhouette in line for the unique treatment. A premium white tumbled leather is used as the base, while the print arrives on the upper’s raised seams — red on the forefoot and yellow on the midfoot/heel — trading out the wild and colorful look used on the AM1 for a more toned-down take on tartan. The shoe is then completed with a white leather tongue patch and a classic white Air Force 1 midsole/outsole. These tartan AF1s are available now at select EU retailers and will likely be dropping stateside soon — accompanied by special plaid takes on the Air Max 97 and Air Max Plus — so enjoy a look at these striking new Forces below and keep it locked right here for information on a stateside release as it’s available.
