The Air Force 1 is one of the world’s most popular sneakers and acts as a staple in many street wear wardrobes. The new collaboration comes in black, olive and camouflage and uses authentic NYCO fabric. NYCO is a material used on military coats, jackets and overall outerwear. Meant for combat, it’s water resistant, sturdy and long lasting. This is another in a long line of brand collaborations by Supreme. The company has also collaborated recently with [Schott NYC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/octobre-editions-x-schott-nyc) on a leather pea coat and [Clarks Originals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallabees) on Wallabe boots.
