Nike Air Force 1 "Color Of The Month"

Presented by Amaarae for SNS

With the release of “Angel You Don’t Know” Afropop star Amaarae has made her mark on the musical landscape. Now, two years later, the Ghanaian-American continues to be a force amongst her peers in the West African music scene pushing the boundaries of the new sub–genre: Alté. Now, the multi-talented and genre-bending artist will appear on the soundtrack for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to build her legacy and the rest will be history. With the raise of Amaarae and her cult-like global following, SNS and Nike Sportswear have joined forces with the RnB artist to tell the story of the retro classic basketball sneaker and its musical impact in past, present, and future. Embraced early by the music industry, it only feels right to cement the status of the silhouette with one of today’s rising stars.

Established in the 1982, the AF1 almost didn’t even make it through the ‘80s if it wasn’t for a few retailers in Baltimore who resurrected the basketball sneaker with a selection of unique colorways, the so-called Color of the Month releases. Now, the Swoosh pays homage to these days with a line-up of classic looks that bring back memories from the early Air Force 1 days.
