Nike is now launching its new iteration of the Air Force 1 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the silhouette with a special version dubbed ‘Timeline.’ The sneaker uses tones of Nike’s signature ‘Cream’ colorway, paired with tan leather overlays. Swooshes can also be found atop a ‘Sail’ midsole and rubber outsole, wrapped in smooth black leather. The removable receipt on the tongue embellishment is the sneaker's standout feature, decorated with iconic dates in sneaker history.
Star and beaver prints can be found on the back of the sneaker, completing the pattern. Cork material has been used on the back to complete the pattern. In the coming months, the Nike Air Force 1 Mid 'Timeline' will be available at participating retailers and on the Nike website.
