WOW…
I haven’t liked an Air Force 1 in some time now but to be completely fair these aren’t your typical Air Force 1s. Combining the Lunarlon cushioning as opposed tot he typical AF1 midsole you have here Nike Lunar Force 1’s. The whole make up is a flawless execution by Nike. Constructing the entire upper of basketball material with the icy blue outsole and white accents throughout is the perfect finishing touch.
The folks over at Nike Store have provided some release details along with detailed pictures for the upcoming Nike Lunar Force 1 ‘World Basketball Festival’, take a look and let us know what your thoughts are down in the comments.
Celebrating the pride, purity, and passion of the game, the World Basketball Festival (WBF) returns this month to the heart of Chicago, Illinois. The Windy City is an ideal host for the celebration, exuding a rich heritage in hoops, including a string of legendary streetball courts, countless professional players, and one of the greatest dynasties professional basketball has ever seen.
To honor this year’s World Basketball Festival, the iconic Air Force 1 has been updated with Lunarlon cushioning to reflect the game’s continual progression. A basketball-textured leather covers the Lunar Force 1’s traditional upper, which rests above the white Lunarlon midsole and translucent outsole. Blue mesh lining, signature Swoosh branding, and WBF logos tie the design story together with subtly rich detailing.
You don’t have to play to play your part. Celebrate the game you love with the sneaker you swear by. The WBF-inspired Lunar Force 1 drops August 14 at select Nike Sportswear retailers worldwide.
