Nike Air Force 1 Luxe “Basalt Brown” DN2451-200

Over its 40-year history, the Nike Air Force 1 has emerged in countless ensembles, many of which go beyond a simple change in color scheme. Iterations like the Luxe altered the original blueprint hinted at by Bruce Kilgore in 1982, giving the silhouette new styling, functionality and more.

Recently, the Air Force 1 Luxe emerged in a sleek look achieved by a predominantly “Brown Basalt” leather construction. Perforation patterns on the toe box forgo their traditional layout in favor of a more ornate layout, resembling those found on traditional wingtip shoes. The sole units underfoot also get some notable changes, with the midsole donning an expanded layered arrangement clad in a semi-transparent tan tone. The outsoles also feature their own modification, offering a fashionable and functional update to the proposal designed for basketball.
