Nike Gives its Air Force 1 Low a Boricua Colorway Design Update
To celebrate this year's Puerto Rican Day, sportswear giant Nike introduces a special iteration of the iconic Air Force 1 Low sneaker model in the Boricua colorway design. The silhouette retains most of its construction and overall looks, with updates that highlight a vibrant color palette and color-blocking design details.
It rests on mismatching pastel hues including purple, peach, pink, blue, red, green, and orange adorning the entire look. It has a panel Swoosh detail on the lateral side of the shoe in white for a stark and bright contrast. There is also a nod to Puerto Rico that can be seen on the right heel and the insole sections. All of it rests atop a white midsole and blue outsole foundation.
