Don’t Mistaken This Nike Air Force 1 for a Yellow-Bellied SnakeRelease: TBCStyle Code: BQ4424-700

Snakeskin has recently been returning to the Nike Air Force 1, first with the reissue of some obscure 90s colourways, and now a new edition in predominately yellow. The reptilian hide is found on the toebox and mid-panel, offering contrast against the upper’s suede finish. The black Swoosh adds some further distinction, as does the white sole unit.
As a disclaimer, it’s unlikely that real snakeskin has been used here: Nike agreed to not use exotic animal skins almost a decade ago. Anyway, keep an eye out for an imminent release.
