Nike has revealed its latest collaborative monochrome lifestyle sneakers of its Air Force 1 sneaker model in a 'Terror Squad' colorway. The sneakers were initially shown publically by American rapper Fat Joe in November 2022. The sneakers are also made in collaboration with the hip-hop group Terror Squad, which consisted of members such as Fat DJ Khaled, Remy Ma, and others.
The sneakers have similar designs to the Nike Dunk Low Retro White Black Panda sneakers. The shoes boast white leather uppers and perforated toe boxes with black overlays. The sneakers have the Nike logo branding on the lateral side and a white lacing system with silver lace dubraes that display "AF-1 '82" wording. The black tongues' label says the Nike Air logo with the sneaker model branding "Air Force 1" below. The standout feature of the sneakers is the heel counter that shows the Terror Squa's logo, "TS," with a cursive "JC" wording referring to Fat Joe, stitched onto the heel tab. The sneakers will be available on August 19.
