Nike's popcorn AF1 Low is a unique release from the brand, presenting the consumers with a sleek sneaker that drew its inspiration from the buttery snack. The new design adorns the iconic sneaker silhouette, which arrives in a colorway dubbed 'coconut milk'. As the name might suggest, the color is creamy with hues of white and off-white.
Popcorn-inspired design motifs exist throughout, including gold text that reads 'Fresh Since '82'. On top of that, the tongue of the shoe features a red and white stripped design that's reminiscent of a nostalgic popcorn box. Most excitingly, is the inside sole of the shoe, which is printed with an all-over image of popcorn, further solidifying the brand's inspiration.
