Nike continues to celebrate the milestone anniversary of the iconic Air Force 1 sneaker model with the latest LA Flea design iteration to join the roster. It is made to also celebrate the flea markets of Los Angeles and joins the Anniversary Edition pack.
The new update spotlights the upper as it replaces the usual traditional leather material across the upper with an updated canvas touch with additional fabrics paneling throughout. It takes on an earthy palette with a light tan as the base foundation before it is detailed with a soft orange hue on top. It also has a sharp touch of blue that makes up the fuzzy Swoosh panel and the tongue tag. Orange floral branding makes its way to the toe box with white stitching as well.
