The Nike SB Air Force 1 “Wheat” returns with a colourway that draws clear inspiration from the iconic wheat-coloured boots that defined 90s street culture, particularly the connection between Timberlands, hip-hop and East Coast style. There's even echoes of the legendary éS Accel shoes in Brown/Gum, that were a staple of so many legendary skaters of the mid/late nineties and early 2000's. As the second colourway released in the Nike SB Air Force 1 line, this edition builds on the success of the original while bringing a timeless look to one of Nike’s most recognisable silhouettes. Constructed from premium suede, and coming in a Flax, Black and Gum Light Brown colourway, it offers a clean, summer-ready aesthetic that feels just as good on as it looks.
While the Air Force 1's DNA remains intact, Nike SB has carefully re-engineered the shoe specifically for skateboarding. A Nike Air unit in the heel helps absorb heavy impacts, while the reduced midsole height improves boardfeel and responsiveness underfoot. The shoe also features a modified Air Force 1 tread pattern, designed to increase grip, flexibility and control without sacrificing durability. Combining classic styling with optimum skate performance, the Nike SB Air Force 1 Wheat is a perfect example of how Nike SB continues to evolve iconic footwear silhouettes for a new generation of skaters.
