| Nike continues the trend of using the Air Force One silhouette as the canvas for cross-model collabs. This fall and winter season Nike has its biggest boot lineup to date, but one special make up of the Air Force 1 mid will come to the party dressed as the Nike Air Baltoro. The Nike Air Baltoro debuted in 1989 and accomplished what many thought to be impossible – a boot that could with stand any and all terrain, weather, but be so comfortable that the all day hike doesn’t murder your feet.
The “Baltoro” Air Force 1 mid has many of the touches that the Air Baltoro sports in its original form while keeping the original shape of the AF1. The swoosh and side panel is the rugged plastic cage that will protect the foot from any terrain it may come across as well as a rich, thick leather upper. To keep the look of the boot, the Baltoro AF1 sits atop a solid black rubber outsole and to finish off the shoe Nike used the classic zig-zag laces kids have been stealing from Baltoros at the outlets for years. The Baltoro Air Force Ones are part of Nike’s upcoming Sportswear Collection. At this point in time we do not have release details such as when and how much, but we will definitely keep you in the loop about these kicks. Photos from sneakers.fr. |
