ORIGINAL ARTICLE
The lifestyle, entertainment and sports found in Los Angeles, CA has been influential to culture for so many years, andย Nikeย will often acknowledge its impact through special footwear installments. Theย Nike Air Force 1 Lowย is a silhouette that has often been reworked with elements of the SoCal metropolis, and this season another entry is about to get added into the mix.
From a fabrics standpoint,ย Nikeย designers adhered to the workwear trends that are often seen in Californian style, especially as it pertains to the skate community. The uppers of the sneakers ditch their traditional leather builds and bring in a muted blue canvas thatโs coupled with tonal Swooshes. Laces are styled in an off-white hue and come accessorized with interstate sign-inspired attachments that read โNike Coastโ and come with metallic silver finishes. Lateral heels expand upon the kicksโ west coast loving as they are adorned with Nike LA badges. Additionally, the insoles are decorated with a the same โLAโ logo on the right shoe while a license plate icon graces the left. Gum bottoms and angelic midsoles down below string together its look.
Look forย Nikeย and select retailers to drop this colorway in the coming months for $150 USD.
