The Nike Air Force 1 High enjoyed quite the run throughout 2022, as the model was made a huge part of the Bruce Kilgore-designed sneaker’s 50th Anniversary. The celebration seemingly continues into 2023, as a hip-hop influenced colorway was just revealed in-hand.

Save for a microphone-shaped accessory, this Air Force 1 High is relatively subtle in its homage. The colorway itself is predominantly neutral, with black dressing much of the exterior construction — i.e. the toe box, mid-panel, lace unit, strap, and the like. White paints the side Swoosh, yellowed finishes the midsole, and a light, asphalt-like print dresses the overlays throughout the upper.

In other news, the Air Jordan 1 ’85 Black/White is releasing later this week.
