This year marks the 30th anniversary of Nobu and to honor the special milestone, New York Sushi Club and Nike work in collaboration on a minimal pair of Air Force 1 shoes. Notably, this is a re-release model with an all-white colorway palette. The highlight is the New York Sushi Club logo that is printed on the heel and the insole.
To replace where the usual Air Force 1 details are is the "SF1" instead -- this is at the lace dubrae. In 2023, a sneaker that is nearly identical was launched to commemorate the grand opening of the Beverly Hills Nobu restaurant. The difference is that the Beverly Hills launch nodded to its respective city and the anniversary pair has the '30' embossed.
