Nike has revealed a new city-inspired lifestyle sneaker, the Nike Air Force 1 Low in a 'Los Angeles' colorway. The sneaker is heavily influenced and inspired by the city of Los Angeles, which is a hub of entertainment and sneaker culture. Additionally, the sneaker pays homage to the beauty of Southern California, where Los Angeles is located.
The sneaker celebrates Californian style in terms of fabrics used, and features a skater-themed aesthetic. The uppers are a muted blue canvas with the Nike branding logo in the same color. The lacing system is in an off-white shade with interstate sign-inspired badge accessories with the wording "Nike Coast" in metallic silver. The lateral heels have a sewn badge of Nike and the "LA" logo combined. In addition, the right insole has the same Nike and "LA" logo, and the left insole has the city's license plate icon.
The sneaker will be released in the coming months for $150.
