Nike To Drop "Dirty" Air Force 1s

Every sneakerhead knows the struggles of keeping their white-on-white Air Force 1s fresh and clean throughout the summer months, but now, Nike is trying to flip the script and are about to drop some white Air Force 1s that already come dirty and dogged.

According to Sneaker News, the "new" triple white Air Force 1s will come "fresh" out the box looking like a pair of discarded 1s you'd find hanging from power lines on the street, but actually get whiter the more you wear them. While we're not sure why Nike would go this route (seriously), they're going to release these and there's nothing we can do to stop them.




Per Sneaker News:




Indeed, in an inversion of typical "wear away" releases, this metatextual Air Force 1comes pre-distressed a la a Golden Goose or a Balenciaga. A sheer layer over top eventually reveals a regular pair of Uptowns with regular use. Notably, Nike is also acknowledging those who prefer to rip the bandage off as soon as they unbox any such shoes -  a toothproof attachment with this shoe allows you to do the dirty work immediately.




The .SWOOSH enterprise has been defined in recent months by their "Low Poly" run of Air Max 1s, first spinning off the OG "Sport Red" with Kai Cenat before executing a nostalgia-fueled trip through video games of old. However, this does fit in well with the sub-brand's cheeky register they were establishing before those AM1s.While this shoe diverges from pairs like the Air Force 1 "404 Error" given its certifiable offline quality, it still upholds the AF1 as the face of the imprint, already established well with the "TINAJ" series and "Our Force 1" further back.




Yeah, we're not sure the "Dirty Triple White" Air Force 1s are going to help Nike's stock numbers rebound as Trump's tariffs continue to loom over the sneaker industry, with heads knowing prices are about to jump in the near future.




The "Dirty Triple White" Air Force 1s are set to release on May 7 at the tune of $130. While we're pretty sure these will brick, we wouldn't be surprised if you see some hipsters out in the wild rocking these joints with pride. Then again, they could just be regular Air Force 1s that they've dogged beyond recognition because we won't be able to tell one from another.
