The Nike Air Force 1 Low CO.JP “Wheat” From 2001 Is Returning Soon

The famed era of Japan-exclusive Forces and Dunks has finally made its return to the masses in recent times, serving both communities with re-issues of the most revered classics. And you’ll notice that a lot of these cherished releases lean more toward simplicity of color-blocking and selective materials, not the over-the-top patterns and palettes. This October 8th, Nike will be bringing back a true gem – the Air Force 1 CO.JP “Wheat”, a Japan exclusive from 2001 that featured insanely good wheat boot suede uppers, a silky interior lining, gum midsoles, and solid brown rubber outsoles. It can be argued that this shoe is what laid the “Wheat” groundwork for AF1s as the Air Force 1 Wheat as now become a seasonal staple over the last half-decade, but those with a keen eye will certainly be making room for these on the reported October 8th release date. Check out the first look ahead and stay tuned for updates.
