NBA season is just around the corner and to celebrate the Oregon-based sportswear brand is set to release the Nike Air Force 1 High Clippers, as an ode to the LA-based team. Being released alongside a rival pair of Lakers-inspired Air Force, the sportswear giant is redefining what it means to sit on the fence.
Set atop the Air Force 1’s classic chunky sole, the heel is dipped in the Clippers’ instantly recognisable blue and sits next to a two-tone red swoosh. Crafted in supple leather with breathable perforations and an adjustable ankle strap, the NBA x Nike collaboration comes to life with the branded insignias that run down the ankle and on the tongue. Polished off with the unmissable AIR’ stamp on the sole, the textured tread allows for maximum grip and minimal slip.
Setting off the klaxons worldwide, this release is an unmissable event for every self-confessed sneakerhead “ whether a Lakers fan, Clippers lover or just a humble old Nike obsessive.
