Nike works in collaboration with luxury French fashion house Louis Vuitton to add more to the retail collection, highlighting none other than the iconic Air Force 1 sneaker model. The first drop is designed by the late Virgil Abloh and sets to feature nine different colorway options.
This is going to be then followed by 12 more colorways to round out the expansive 21-style capsule for the season. The series was initially believed to be exclusively available for VIP customers only, however, it will be available online. The colorways that lead the new collection include the full metallic Met gold with Baroque Brown and Black followed by the collegiate-themed option of white and Team Royal.
