Over the past few months we've seen some pretty spectacular sashiko-inspired Swoosh sneakers, but the upcoming Nike Air Force 1 Low "Sashiko" could just be one of our favorites yet. Celebrating the Bruce Kilgore basketball shoe's 40th anniversary in style, even though these Forces are pretty clean at first glance, it's filled with loads of funky details that we can't help but stare at.
Boasting a multi-textured upper, the front is crafted from a buttery grey suede, the mid section opts for a textured canvas, while the heel is decked out in an intricately woven pattern that kind of reminds us of a patchwork quilt. While these are left quite monochromatic, they're accented by vibrant neon stitching that's like a contemporary take on the traditional Japanese embroidery technique. This motif extends all the way towards the tongue and heel tabs for a look that is sure to turn heads. Underfoot, Nike goes back to basics with a clean coconut milk Air unit that's as comfortable as it gets.
Get ready for the Nike Air Force 1 Low Sashiko Grey to release before the end of 2022. Dropping in men's sizes at Nike, the SNKRS app, and select online and in-store locations worldwide, a retail price has yet TBA.
