The Sneaker That Dressed for Aspen This Season
Nike has sent the Air Force 1 Low off to boot camp. The latest version trades its usual clean-white uniform for a deep brown treatment, built with a Gore-Tex upper for weatherproofing and a Vibram sole for the kind of grip a slick sidewalk actually demands. It is still, unmistakably, an Air Force 1 — the silhouette holds — but reworked so it can hold its own against slush, snow, and a mountain-town winter. The kind of sneaker that reads as ready for a walk down a Rodeo Drive gets a second act suited to Aspen's ice and altitude instead.
