Many enjoyed the denim-constructed 'Rivals' pack for the Air Force 2 silhouette but similar in concept and design, is the Nike SB Bred model, which was recently added to the sportswear brand's product line. Nike has done a great job blending both the sport and skateboarding culture by continuously adding to its Nike Skateboarding line.
The popular 'Bred' color scheme that many sneakerheads know and love is one of Jordan Brand’s most popular combinations. The AF2 silhouette receives its makeover with black leather and suede, perforated strips of white leather on the toe box and sides. Accents of “Habanero Red” on the Nike SB logo on the tongue, along the outsole, and heel really bring the design together. You can find this Air Force 2 Low “Bred” at such retailers as Premier for $95 USD.
