Over the past 40 years, the Air Force 1 has reigned supreme has one of the best basketball sneakers on the hardcourt. While its design has pretty much remained unchanged since, releases, like the Nike Air Force 1 React "Midnight Navy Action Grape," have gone above and beyond to give the silhouette a futuristic rework. If you still don't have a pair in your daily rotation, you should definitely check this one out.
While the toebox sticks to the OG with a smooth leather construction and classic perforations, the rest of the upper has been completely redesigned from the ground up. Crafted from a mixture of nylon and ripstop, two contrasting Swooshes glide across the lateral and medial side panels, while an oversized pull tab around the back offers a rugged look and feel. Down below, the midsole is split between Air technology and React cushioning for an insane amount of comfort and response with every step, and of course, you can't talk about these Forces without mentioning the action grape hues on the top eyelets and insole, finalizing the design.
Releasing sometime in Holiday 2022 in men's sizes with a retail price of $140, the Nike Air Force 1 React Midnight Navy will be available at Nike and select online and in-store retailers worldwide.
