Sneakers naturally pick up dirt and scuffs with wear, but the [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonal-black-denim) Air Force 1 Low Dirty Triple White offers a different experience by arriving pre-distressed with a top layer that slowly reveals a fresh white finish underneath. For sneaker enthusiasts who want to speed up the transformation, Nike includes a toothbrush to clean off the worn-in look.

This footwear design flipping the traditional life cycle of a sneaker on its head is a concept from Nike’s .SWOOSH platform and it has the sneaker community talking.

Alongside the Dirty Triple White, Nike is launching a Triple Triple Black Air Force 1 Low with the same wear-away material technology, both of which are set to be released on [SNKRS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanta-black) on May 7th.
