Nike’s strategy for footwear releases has shifted, with the brand no longer putting the primary focus on retro designs like the Dunk or Air Force 1. Even still, both models have plenty of life left in them, and The Swoosh has plenty of pairs dropping over the coming months. As part of a larger collection with Realtree Camo, which includes a Calm Mule and Calm Slide, Nike has prepped a camo-covered Air Force 1 Low.
Unlike the two other camo-laden AF1s coming later this year, including the Black Patent and Patent Camo Pink colorways, the Bruce Kilgore-designed model features heavy-duty canvas construction for the upcoming Realtree collaboration. The brand’s camo coats the mudguard, Swoosh, eyelets, and heel overlays, while the toebox and midfoot come in a greyscale finish. More of this grey hue is applied to the lace set and sockliner.
