Nithtke Air Force 1

A mix of real and synthetic leather, satin overlays and premium embroidery come together in this anniversary edition of the Nithtke Air Force 1 ’07 Premium to celebrate the people and culture of New York City’s Ghanaian community. While embroidered backtabs honor Little Accra, a heavily Ghanaian enclave in the Bronx, graphics on the insoles and metallic dubraes with adinkra symbols encourage sharing stories and building community.

Air Force 1

Debuting in 1982 as a basketball must-have, the Air Force 1 came into its own in the 90s. The clean look of the classic white-on-white AF1 was endorsed from the basketball courts to the block and beyond. Finding its rhythm in hip-hop culture, releasing limited collabs and colorways, Air Force 1 became an iconic sneaker around the globe. And with over 2000 iterations of this staple, its impact on fashion, music and sneaker culture can’t be denied.
