Nike SF Air Force 1 Black Gum

With the Nike SF Air Force 1 Black Gum, designer Bruce Kilgore reimagines the classic basketball sneaker as a military boot that can elevate any look. This iteration features a stealthy base constructed from black tumbled leather with signature perforations in the toebox. Overlays of black tumbled leather adorn the toebox, eye stays, and side panel Swoosh. The heel is composed of black nylon and mesh with a vertical tab that evolves into a pull-loop. An ankle strap and embossed lugs underscoring the Nike Swoosh give the shoe a rough and ready look. The gold script on the medial collar branding tag provides a touch of color on the upper. The sole unit ties the look together, with a black midsole featuring encapsulated Air and embossed branding to match the upper, while the gum rubber outsole offers contrast yet complements the branding patch. The Nike SF Air Force 1 Black Gum was released on January 19, 2017, for $165 retail. The Nike Special Field Air Force 1 'Black Gum' is the second iteration of the Special Field Air Force 1 'Gum' that originally dropped in November of 2016, featuring a black midsole unit and paracord ankle straps.
