Gum Soles Make the Nike Air Force 1 Even Better

Consider this a short ode to the gum rubber outsole. It makes almost every single sneaker better. Weaker colourways are saved with the addition of the tan-shade rubber, and strong palettes hit ‘all-time greatest’ trajectories with this versatile sole option.

The is a sneaker that’s almost perfect. When it’s in black tumbled leather with blue accents, a strong case is being presented. Then, when a gum outsole is added, it’s indisputable.

It’s not just a dream: this colourway is available now from Nike. Go on, just do it.
