A-COLD-WALL* and Nike have collaborated once again to introduce their third joint footwear design -- this time, the duo took on the 'Flyleather Air Force 1 Low' sneakers. The signature model serves as the foundation and is offered in two colorway options of either black or white. Notably, 'flyleather' is a sustainable material comprised of 50% natural recycled leather fiber, which correlates to the ethos of achieving a "sustainable future" from both brands.
The new sneakers are comprised of the eco-friendly material all throughout the uppers, accompanied by co-branding accents on the medial side and the canvas tongue tab. Additional details include the hidden lacing system complete in a paneling gray color that follows through to the heel counter. The global release of the sneakers is set for December 21st, with an early launch in Shanghai on December 9th.
