 Earlier this week we shared with you a photo of a sample Air Force II inspired by the classic Gucci colors of red and green. We have seen a few variations of the “Gucci” Air Force II that included more colors and other cosmetic touches, but Politics just shared with us photos of another variation of the shoe.On this sample Nike adds much more of the classic “Green-Red-Green” stripes to the shoes along the ankle TPU and laces. In addition to added color is a black tone-on-tone paisley pattern that subtly graces the upper. What will the final product look like?
Only time will help us out with this one. No word on when this officially will release, but the colors would make February (Black History Month) a good time to release in my opinion. More shots after the break. |
