Nike Air Force 1 '07 LX

This Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 LX has a vintage look that is forged by its use of creamy tones. The first of these is Lemon Wash, which spreads across the grippy circular indentations that radiate over the heel and forefoot of the outsole. This light yellow hue then moves up into the midsole, where it covers everything from the Air lettering on its lateral side to the stitching in the groove around its top edge.

The tumbled leather upper switches to Coconut Milk, this more off-white tone appearing on all of its main sections. As well as featuring through the toe box and forefoot mudguard, it coats the back half of the shoe, which is made up of a midfoot panel and rear segment that are set at the same level, with no overlay. Two lines of stitching still extend from the edge of the Coconut Milk eyestay to the midsole, thus delineating the area where a rear overlay would normally be, but everything remains at the same level until the heel panel. This piece of leather has been embroidered with Light Bone Nike Air text, and a heel strip emerges from underneath its bottom edge, both panels exhibiting more Coconut Milk tones.

The swooshes have been shortened, taking up less space on the flanks as they barely reach past the midfoot. They have an intriguing appearance that is generated by the sheen of the see-through material that lies over the top of their Light Bone backing. Meanwhile, the laces have been dyed Pale Vanilla to add to the variety of the creamy colour palette. Behind these, the tongue takes another off-white tone, while the label sewn into it is Light Bone. This patch has been decorated with retro Nike branding in black above a red swoosh. Inside the shoe, all surfaces take on further neutral colours and a distinctive stamp emblem adorns the insole. This final element comprises a dual-lined black circle with a small swoosh and the words “Nike WHQ”, “Fall 2022”, “Certified Fresh” to conclude the sneaker’s heritage look.
