With countless Air Force 1 colourways and collaborations out in the world, Nike‘s upcoming monochromatic University Gold scheme is definitely an eye-catcher that arrives with brand new waterproof elements.
There’s no denying that this new pair from Nike shares a lot of similarities to the Nike x Off-White™ Air Force 1 “Lemonade” collab (seen further below). Free of any Virgil Abloh details, the waterproof AF1 University Gold is 100% Nike.
The upper has been crafted from tumbled leather, while the toe box and signature Swoosh detail has been embossed into the upper of the design – a detail that we assume was intentional to allow the water to roll off more smoothly.
A nylon ripstop tongue showcases a new “waterproof” AF1 branding while the traditional Air-branded rubber sole completes this vibrant design.
Nike’s waterproof Air Force 1s may be a concept they’ll use more frequently moving forward (far from a bad thing considering English weather). The famous Triple Black Forces have also been confirmed to be the next Nike silhouette to receive the waterproof treatment.
No official release date has been confirmed yet for Nike’s upcoming waterproof Air Force 1s. Considering that official imagery has already been making the rounds online, more details may follow shortly.
You can find three brand new Air Force 1 colourways that launched last week with plenty of sizes still remaining! Follow the link for a closer look.
