As part of Nike’s major celebrations for the Air Force 1’s 40th anniversary, the Swoosh team has dropped another AF1 design. This time, it pulls inspiration from the open-air flea markets that pepper Los Angeles, which house a host of vintage and reworked items.
This influence is seen most prominently in the Nike Air Force 1 LA Flea’s mix and match materials. Sail canvas makes up most of the upper while quarter panels have a textured weave design. Quilted nylon finds its place around the ankle panels. Connecting these different textiles are exposed hand-stitches along with a cross-hatched heel tabs, allowing the shoe to exude the streetwear mecca’s flair for breathing life into and reworking vintage pieces.
To convey the sunny side of LA, California poppies have also been embroidered throughout the upper. Frayed detailing on the Swoosh and thick twisted rope laces round off the look. This Nike Air Force 1 LA Flea is slated to drop on 16 July on SNKRS. It will retail for US$140. For closer looks of this vintage-like shoe, keep scrolling!
