Men's Air Force 1 Retro "Houseflies"

Air Force 1 Retro

Men's Shoes

This forthcoming version takes the well-known, all-white Air Force 1 silhouette and remixes it with photorealistic housefly graphics printed across the entirety of the tumbled leather upper, midsole, and outsole. It’s a refreshing-yet-creepy combination.

Elsewhere, the signature AF1 treatment remains untouched. You still receive the signature low-cut profile, perforated toe box, and crisp panel construction that has cemented the AF1 as a legend in its own time. But, those fly graphics will most certainly garner some attention—or disgust.

Is this a look that the Swoosh is dabbling in to make a point about the social or political climate? Is this a play on an outdoor BBQ theme? Or is this simply just having a little fun? Either way, the “Houseflies” Air Force 1 is already garnering chatter in the sneaker community. It’s the kind of release that will no doubt divide those present, while simultaneously selling out quickly.
