The most sought-after designs of Nike are undoubtedly its Nike Air Force 1 sneakers that are celebrating their 40th anniversary in 2022. The story of the classic Air Force 1 shoe on Nike’s official web page says,

“Introduced in 1982, the Air Force 1 redefined basketball footwear from the hardwood to the blacktop. It was the first basketball sneaker to house Nike Air, but its innovative nature has since taken a backseat to its status as a street icon.”

As a part of these celebrations, the shoe label has given numerous makeovers to low-cut, mid, and high-top variants of the silhouette. Both collaborative editions like the ones released with Off-White and Billie Eilish, alongside a slew of GRs have been introduced till now. Now, with the fresh Nike Air Force 1 High LV8 "Sail Medium Grey," the brand is putting a retro take on an original AF1 colorway.

The product description of the arriving Air Force 1 High Sail and Medium Grey shoes on the shoe label’s e-commerce website reads,

“Sophisticated and wearable, the Air Force 1 High '07 lets you ring in the new age of vintage. Distressed leather in classic Sail pairs with era-echoing, '80s construction for a bold, retro look. The woven canvas side panel and heritage branding on the tongue bring to life the original high-flying look, while Medium Grey accents on the Swoosh and outsole add coveted AF1 appeal.”

Loaded with the hits of retro all over, the uppers of these AF1s sport premium leathers of eponymous “Sail” and “Medium Grey” hues. The breathable perforations on the sleek toe boxes are contoured with mildly textured sail leathery elements.

The quarter panels are complete with superior knitting units. These knitted elements on the sides are topped with Medium grey swooshes, which are a characteristic feature of these silhouettes.

Tints of light bone are also employed to make the tongue flaps, eyelets, and the lace fasteners. The tongues underneath laces are adorned with the highly coveted Nike Air branding on open end. Similar Air markings are also added to the insoles and heel counters. The heel sections are highlighted with suede grey elements, topped with the stated Nike Air branding.

Lastly, the sneakers are completed with light bone/sail toned midsoles and the medium grey outer sole units to match the rest.

Don’t forget to be the part of these celebrations with the next Nike Air Force 1 High Vintage “Sail” sneaker release. AF1 admirers can sign up on Nike’s SNKRS app for quick updates about the release of these shoes.
