(SPOT.ph) There are many classic kicks that sneakerheads would consider staples in any shoe lover's collection. A definitive example is one of Nike's flagship sneakers and a favorite of streetwear enthusiasts, the Air Force 1. The pair, best known for its chunky silhouette, thick soles, toecap perforations, and lace medallion, is most recognizable in pristine, toe-to-heel white. It's also one of several sneakers constantly getting revamped by the brand and comes in many cool colorways. Their new releases are often made to fit in with current trends and cultural movements and their latest is no different: Nike is set to release the Air Force 1 in a new rainbow design known as the BETRUE sneaker for Pride Month!
Despite the fact that the word "rainbow" may bring to mind images of eye-catching styles, Nike is keeping it low-key this year and staying true to the AF1's classic ivory colorway. They spruced up the style with rainbow flags on the tongue and outer side of each sole right next to the Nike logo. You'll also find holographoc details lining the Swoosh on either side of each shoe. But our favorite part has to be the heel, which is decked out in vibrant rainbow stitching from top to bottom. The pair is subtle enough to wear with pretty much any look—so you can easily incorporate it into your sneaker rotation—but those Pride Month colors remain bright and immediately visible. It's a great way to wear your pride or show your support for the LGBTQ community!
Feast your eyes:
Nike is set to release the Air Force 1 BETRUE Sneakers on June 19. We're seriously hoping for a local release of this pair, but for now, you can check it out online. It's available for U.S. $120 (roughly P6,055). International shipping may not be a possibility right now, but we'll keep this one on our wish lists until we can get our hands on them.
