The “NAI-KE” series, which honors Nike’s history and influence in China, is one of the most significant iterations. The word “NAI-KE” also means “enduring and persevering” in Chinese and is a phonetic translation of “Nike” in English.
The latest nod to China arrives covered in light brown tones. This Nike Air Force 1 Low “NAI-KE” looks to be inspired by traditional basket weaving techniques, as it features woven detailing on the side panels. In terms of colorway, the pair keeps it clean in “Sail”, which arrives on the sneaker’s leather overlays, suede Swooshes, laces, and canvas tongue. “NAI-KE” branding on the heels and insoles atop a White midsole and Gum rubber outsole completes the design. The shoe also comes with a special “NAI-KE” branded hangtag.
What is the difference between Nike Air Force 1 and AF1 low?
They are pretty much the same shoe. Only difference is the af1 has Air Force one spelled out instead of af1 on the shoe and the midsole is lower on originals.
Why are Air Force 1s so popular?
The classic yet stylish look, proportions, availability, comfort and wearability all factor into the Air Force 1s popularity. Air Force 1s look great with most casual outfits and have a rich history that appeals to sneaker fanatics
