Jasmine Tang Although August is approaching, Nike is still keeping the summer fun going with brightly colored, playful footwear releases. The good vibes continue with the Swoosh dropping another pineapple-themed Nike Air Force 1—a reminder that nobody is ever too old to have fun.
Similar to previous “Pineapple” Air Force 1s and other silhouettes within this tropical pack, the shades “Coconut Milk” and “Green Glow” take center stage. “Coconut Milk” tints the model’s upper, which are constructed from the fibrous waste of pineapple leaves and recycled canvas. Profile Swooshes and the heel tab opt for a slightly darker tan but reveal a hint of “Green Glow” underneath for a playful look that is still well-suited for everyday wear. On the tongue, a character no other than a happy pineapple is embroidered atop. Finally, cork materials are applied to the insole, lace dubrae, and outsole to maintain the plant theme initiated by the smiley fruit.
Take a closer look at the AF 1 “Pineapple” below, which is available now at Nike.com.
In other Swoosh-related news, the Nike Blazer Mid ’77 “Toasty” features a patchwork of quilted textiles and fleece lining.
