Vintage Nike Basketball detailing has defined a number of newly surfaced Air Force 1 designs, now appearing on an upcoming “University Blue” pair.

The Beaverton brand’s latest Air Force 1 installment adopts a familiar UNC-esque color scheme, this time pairing the hue with a black leather base. Thoughtful retro-inspired consideration is given to the tongue and heel, the former adorned with basketball-textured pebbling and the latter stitched with a vintage Nike Basketball logo.
