Nike continues to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its iconic Air Force 1 sneaker silhouette and the latest to drop from the Anniversary Edition is a Vanchetta Tan colorway of the Air Force 1 LXX. The shoes made their original release back in 2017 and it highlights the premium leather material that makes up the upper.
This time around, the shoe is made from a blend of materials and colors for a refreshing look. It starts off with a white leather base foundation and then is accented with light brown suede overlaying on top for tonal and textural contrast. The Swoosh branding detail and the heel tab are detailed in a leather touch done in a dark brown.
